అంతా తుస్‌...

తెలంగాణ ప్రాంత రాజకీయ నాయకులు ప్రజల్ని మరోసారి నయవంచన చేశారా? ఇప్పుడు ఆ ప్రాంత ప్రజలందరిలోనూ వ్యక్తమవుతున్న ఆగ్రహం వెనుక దాగిన సందేహం ఇది... స్పీకర్‌ తనకు సమర్పించిన రాజీనామాల్లో 129 రాజీనామాలు ఆమోదయోగ్యం అయ్యేలా ఆర్డర్‌లో లేవని విస్పష్టంగా తేల్చి చెప్పి తిరస్కరించటం ప్రజలకు మింగుడుపడని అంశం... ఈ 129 మందిలో తెలంగాణా వారితో పాటు ఆంధ్ర, రాయలసీమ నేతలు కూడా ఉండి ఉండవచ్చు. కానీ, తెలంగాణా ప్రధానాంశం నేపథ్యంలో ఉద్యమాలు సాగుతున్న నేపథ్యంలో నేతలు నిజాయితీ మరచి కావాలనే ఇలా చేశారా? ఇంతకాలం వాళు్ల చేస్తున్న ఆందోళన అంతా ప్రజల్ని మభ్యపెట్టడానికేనా?

తెలంగాణా నేతలు అంతా తుస్సు మనిపించారు.. ఇంతకాలం వాళు్ల చేసిన ఉద్యమం అంతా ఒఠ్ఠిదేనని తేలిపోయింది... రాజీనామాలతో రాజ్యాంగ సంక్షోభాన్ని సృష్టిస్తామని ప్రభుత్వాన్ని నడవనీయకుండా అడ్డుకుంటామని పోటీలు పడి ప్రసంగాలు చేసిన వాళ్లందరిదీ నాటకమేనని స్పష్టమైంది. స్పీకర్‌కు వాళు్ల చేసిన రాజీనామాలన్నీ ఉత్తుత్తివేనని స్పీకర్‌ తేల్చేశారు..
ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్‌ విభజన గురించి విద్యార్థులు ఉద్యమాలు ప్రారంభించినప్పటి నుంచీ రాజకీయ నాయకులు ఉపన్యాసాలకు, సమావేశాలకు మాత్రమే పరిమితమయ్యారు..ఏనాడూ ప్రత్యక్ష ఆందోళనల్లో పాల్గొనలేదు. ఉద్యమాలు చేస్తున్న విద్యార్థుల దగ్గరకు వెళ్లి అడపాదడపా సంఘీభావం తెలపడం తప్ప వాళు్ల ప్రత్యక్షంగా ఉద్యమంలో పాలుపంచుకున్నది లేదు. పైగా ఇష్టం వచ్చిన వ్యాఖ్యానాలు చేసి విద్యార్థుల ఆగ్రహానికి గురైన సందర్భాలూ ఉన్నాయి.
ప్రజల్లో భావోద్వేగాలు పెరిగిపోయిన తరువాత రాజకీయ పార్టీలన్నీ ఒక్క వేదికపైకి రాకతప్పలేదు. అన్ని పార్టీలూ కలిసి జెఏసి పేరుతో ఓ కుంపటి పెట్టుకుని రాజీనామాల డ్రామా నడిపించాయి. హైదరాబాద్‌లో కూర్చుని మీటింగుల మీద మీటింగులు పెట్టుకుని తెగ మంతనాలు జరిపాయి.
ఉస్మానియాలో వేణుగోపాల్‌ రెడ్డి ఆత్మహత్య నేపథ్యంలో కెసిఆర్‌ పార్టీ సభ్యులు తెగ ఆవేశంతో స్పీకర్‌ ఇంటి ముందుకు వెళ్లి రాజీనామాలు ఆమోదిస్తారా లేదా అంటూ రాత్రిపూట హడావుడి చేసి అరెస్టులు కూడా అయ్యారు.. ఈ డ్రామాలో హరీష్‌, కెటిఆర్‌, ఈటెల వంటి వారు పాల్గొన్నారు కూడా..
తమతో పాటు మీరూ రాజీనామాలు చేయకపోతే ఇక ఊరుకునేది లేదంటూ ఇతర పార్టీల వారికి డెడ్‌లైన్ల విధింపులు ఎప్పటిలాగే టిఆర్‌ఎస్‌ మేధావులు చేసేశారు... కాంగ్రెస్‌ వాళూ్ల ఒత్తిడికి లోనైనట్లే కనిపించారు... చివరకు జనవరి 28 తేదీ గడిచిపోయింది. సహజంగానే గడువూ వారం రోజులు పొడిగించేశారు.. తీరా చూస్తే అంతా తుస్సేనని తేలిపోయింది. అసలు రాజీనామాలు ఆమోదయోగ్యంగా ఉన్నప్పుడు కదా.. ఏ గడువుకైనా విలువ ఉండేది..?
ఇవాళ రాజీనామాల తిరస్కరణతో తెలంగాణ నేతల డొల్లతనం ఏమిటో అర్థమవుతోంది... రాజీనామాలను తాము సమర్పిస్తున్నప్పుడు అవి సరైన పద్ధతిలో ఉన్నాయా లేదా అన్నవి వాళ్లకు తెలియవా? లేక తెలిసే ఇలా చేశారా? ప్రతిరోజూ తమ ప్రాంతంలో ఆత్మహత్యల పరంపర కొనసాగుతోంది.
విద్యార్థులు తమ విద్యాసంవత్సరాన్ని పణంగా పెట్టి ఆందోళనల్లో పాల్గొంటున్నారు...
మరి ప్రజాభీష్ఠాన్ని భుజాన వేసుకుని ముందుకు తీసుకువెళ్లాల్సిన నాయకులు మాత్రం ఇలా వ్యవహరిస్తే ప్రజల్లో విశ్వసనీయత ఎలా ఉంటుంది? ఇప్పటిదాకా జెఎసి పేరుతో వీళు్ల చేసిన ప్రసంగాలు, సందేశాలు.. వేటిల్లోనూ చిత్తశుద్ధి లేనట్లేనా? ప్రజల్లో విశ్వాసమే కల్పించలేని వాళు్ల ఇక రాషా్టన్న్రి ఎలా సాధిస్తారు? జనాల్ని మభ్యపెట్టి వీళు్ల సాధించదలచుకున్నదేమిటి? రాజీనామాలను స్పీకర్‌ తిరస్కరించారు.. జనం వెర్రివాళై్ల స్పీకర్‌ నిర్ణయాన్ని చూస్తూ ఉండిపోయారు.. ఇప్పుడు నేతలు ఏం చేస్తారు?

తెలంగాణాపై కమిటీ ఏర్పాటు పూర్తయింది

చిదంబరం మరో ప్రకటన చేశారు.. అంతా ఊహించినట్లుగానే తెలంగాణాపై కమిటీ వేస్తున్నామన్నారు.. ‘‘ తెలంగాణాపై కమిటీ ఏర్పాటు ప్రక్రియ దాదాపు పూర్తయింది. అన్నీ అనుకున్నట్టు జరిగితే ఈ వారాంతం లోగా తుది రూపం వస్తుంది. వచ్చే వారంలో కమీటీని ప్రకటించవచ్చు. తెలంగాణాలో ఆందోళనలు దాదాపుగా తగ్గిపోయాయి. అక్కడక్కడ కొద్ది కొద్దిగా నిరసనలు జరుగుతున్నాయి. కాకపోతే కొందరు విద్యార్థులు ఆత్మహత్యలకు పాల్పడటమే విచారకరం.. పిల్లలు ఎందుకు ఆత్మహత్యలు చేసుకోవాలి. వాటిని అడ్డుకునే బాధ్యత తల్లిదండ్రులపై, ఉపాధ్యాయులపై, స్నేహితులపై ఉంది. మేము మా మాటలకు కట్టుబడి ఉన్నాం.. ఇలాటి చిన్న చిన్నవి తప్పిస్తే శాంతిభద్రతల పరిస్థితి మొత్తం మీద నియంత్రణలోనే ఉంది. కమిటీ పేర్లు దాదాపు ఖరారయ్యాయి. దాని స్వరూపం మాత్రం ఇప్పుడే చెప్పలేను..’’.

మొత్తం మీద చిదంబరం మరో ఫీలర్‌ వదిలారు.. రాజకీయాలు వేడెక్కినప్పుడు.. ఆందోళనలు రేగినప్పుడు... వాటి దిశను మార్చేందుకు కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం వ్యూహాత్మకంగా అడుగులు వేస్తూ వస్తున్నది. అందులో భాగమే చిదంబరం నోట మరో మాట.. డిసెంబర్‌ ౯న తెలంగాణ రాష్ట్ర ఏర్పాటు గురించి మాట్లాడటం దగ్గర నుంచి కేంద్రం ఈ వ్యవహారాన్ని అతి సున్నితంగా డీల్‌ చేస్తూ వస్తున్నది. తెలంగాణ ఏర్పాటుకు సానుకూలంగా తొలి ప్రకటన చేసిన తరువాత వెల్లువెత్తిన నిరసనలను చల్లార్చేందుకు రెండో ప్రకటన చేశారు.. వ్యవహారం తెలంగాణాలో రివర్స్‌ కావటంతో ఏకంగా అఖిలపక్ష సమావేశాన్ని ఏర్పాటు చేసి మమ అనిపించారు.. శాంతియుతంగా ఉండండంటూ సందేశం ఇచ్చారు.. ఇప్పుడు రాజీనామాల బెదిరింపులను సమాధానపరచటానికి కమిటీ ప్రకటన చేశారు.. దీని వల్ల కాంగ్రెస్‌ నేతలు కొంతవరకు సంతృప్తి పడవచ్చేమో కానీ, మిగతా పార్టీల నేతలు సంతోషపడే పరిస్థితి కనిపించటం లేదు.. చిదంబరం ప్రకటనను ఎవరికి తోచిన రీతిలో వారు అర్థం చేసుకుంటున్నారు.. తెలంగాణ కాంగ్రెస్‌ నేతలు రాష్ట్ర ఏర్పాటు దిశగా సాగే ప్రయత్నంలో భాగంగానే కమిటీ అంటుంటే.. స్పష్టత లేని ప్రకటనలు మోసం చేసేందుకేనని మిగతా పార్టీల వాదన... అటు సీమాంధ్ర నేతల్లోనూ అంతగా సంతృప్తి కనిపించటం లేదు.. తెలంగాణ ఏర్పాటు చేయటం కోసమే ఈ కమిటీని ఏర్పాటు చేస్తున్నారంటూ రాజమండ్రి ఎంపి ఉండవల్లి అరుణ్‌కుమార్‌ విస్పష్టంగానే చెప్పుకొచ్చారు.. ఇక మిగిలింది పంపకాలేనంటూ ఆయన తేల్చేశారు కూడా... అటు తెలుగుదేశం నేతలు పయ్యావుల కేశవ్‌, దేవినేని ఉమ లాంటి వారు కూడా ఈ ప్రకటన బ్లాక్‌మెయిల్‌ రాజకీయాలకు లొంగటమేనన్నారు.. తెలంగాణ తెలుగుదేశం నేతలు మాత్రం విస్పష్టంగా ప్రకటన చేస్తే తప్ప ఒప్పుకునే ప్రశ్నే లేదన్నారు.. వెరసి కర్రవిరక్కుండా, పాము చావకుండా చిదంబరం మరో నాలుగు మాటల అస్త్రాలను రాష్ట్రంలోని ఇరుపక్షాల మధ్యలో విడిచిపెట్టారు..అటు ఉస్మానియా విశ్వవిద్యాలయం విద్యార్థులు మాత్రం ఎలాంటి కమిటీలను అంగీకరించేది లేనేలేదు పొమ్మంటోంది. ఇక నేతల ఇళ్లను ముట్టడించటమే తరువాయి అని కూడా స్పష్టం చేసింది. చిరంజీవి సానుకూలంగానే స్పందించారు.. వైఖరి స్పష్టం కాని పార్టీలకు ఇబ్బంది కానీ, కమిటీతో మాకేం నష్టం లేదన్నది ఆయన వాదన.. ఇక చంద్రబాబు ఏం మాట్లాడతారో తెలియదు.. అసలు మాట్లాడతారో లేదో కూడా తెలియదు.. ఇక మూలవిరాట్టు కెసిఆర్‌ మీడియా ముందుకు రావలసి ఉంది... జెఏసి ఏదో ఒకటి తేల్చుకుంటే కానీ ఆయన మాట్లాడరు.. మొత్తం మీద జనవరి ౨౮ డెడ్‌లైన్‌ ఏదీ తేల్చకుండానే తేలిపోయింది.. తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమ కారులు ఇప్పుడేం చేస్తారు? వేచి చూడాలి..

సుప్రసన్న ‘అంతరంగం’



written by - డా.లక్ష్మణ చక్రవర్తి
(సుప్రసన్నాచార్య ‘అంతరంగం’కు నేడు ఢిల్లీలో సాహిత్య అకాడమి ‘టాగూరు సాహిత్య పురస్కారం’ ప్రదానం చేసిన సందర్భంగా)
అనుభూతి, అనుభవం ఇవి రెండు ఒకే వ్యక్తిలో ఉంటే అంతరంగం సుప్రసన్నమౌతుంది. అనుభూతిని అనుభవానికి తెచ్చుకుని అంతరంగాన్ని ఆవిష్కరించగలగడం అందరూ చేయగలిగిన పని కూడా కాదు.
నలభై ఏళ్లుగా సృజన/విమర్శ రంగాలలో తమదైన ముద్రను ప్రదర్శిస్తూ తమ అంతరంగాన్ని ఈ రెండు రంగాలలోను ఆవిష్కరిస్తున్నవారిలో ప్రత్యేకంగా చెప్పదగినవారు ఆచార్య కోవెల సుప్రసన్న. సృజనమూలాలు విమర్శ చైతన్యం రెండూ వేర్వేరు తీరాలు.
హృదయం ద్రవించి ఏ తీరాన్ని చేరుతుందో దానినిబట్టి సృజన/విమర్శ ఏర్పడతాయని భావించే వర్గానికి ప్రతినిధిగా నిలిచేవారు వీరు. గత ౪౦ ఏళ్లుగా సృజనాత్మక, శాస్త్ర వాఙ్మయ గ్రంథాలకు రాసిన పీఠికలన్నీ కలిపి ‘అంతరంగం’గా సృజనలోకం (వరంగంల్‌) వారు ప్రచురించారు. ఇందులో ౬౮ పీఠికలున్నాయి.



పెద్దల స్తుతిరూపంలో ప్రాచీనాంధ్ర కవుల పీఠికలుంటే పెద్దలే రచించినవి ప్రస్తుత పీఠికలు. రెండవ పద్ధతికి సంబంధించిన పీఠికలు ఇవి. చాలావరకు పీఠికలు గ్రంథాన్ని, గ్రంథకర్తను ప్రోత్సహించి ముగించినట్లుగా, గ్రంథ విశేషాలతో కూడినట్లుగా ఉంటాయి. ఈ పద్ధతికి భిన్నంగా ఉండడమే ఈ పీఠికల విశిష్టత. సుప్రసన్న ఈ పీఠికల ద్వారా కొత్తమార్గం వేశారని చెప్పవచ్చు. రచన, రచయిత కంటే రచనలోని అంశానికి సంబంధించిన విస్తృత విషయాలను అందించడం ఆ కొత్తమార్గం.

౧౯౬౬లో సాహిత్య అకాడమీ ప్రచురించిన ‘వసుచరిత్ర’కు సంపాదకునిగా రాసిన పీఠిక నుండీ, సాహిత్యలోకంలోకి ఇటీవల వచ్చిన ‘భారతీయ జ్వలిత చేతన-బంకించంద్ర చటర్జీ’ వరకు పయనించిన వారి పీఠికలు ఇందులో ఉన్నాయి. కాలక్రమంగా కాకుండా విషయ ప్రధానంగా పీఠికలు కూర్చడం బాగుంది. విషయం అర్థం చేసుకునేందుకు వీలు కలిగింది. ఒక అంశానికి సంబంధించిన పీఠికలను ఒక దగ్గరగా చదువుకుంటే ఆ విషయానికి సంబంధించిన పరిపూర్ణ జ్ఞానం కలుగుతుంది.
సాహిత్య చరిత్ర, విమర్శకులకు సంబంధించిన పీఠికలు ముందుగా చేర్చడం, స్వీయ రచనలు, భగవత్‌ సంబంధ రచనలు దేశభక్తి, విశ్వనాథ, శాస్త్ర వాఙ్మయ విషయాలకు సంబంధించినవి వరుసగా చేర్చడం వలన విషయ విస్తృతి తెలుస్తుంది. భట్టుమూర్తి వసుచరిత్రకు రాసిన పీఠిక మధ్యయుగ ప్రబంధాల అధ్యయనానికి ఒక నూతన మార్గాన్ని వేసింది.
కథను మూడంచెలుగా భట్టుమూర్తి నిర్వహించినట్లు వారు ప్రతిపాదించడంతో తర్వాతి కాలంలో ప్రబంధాలలో ఉన్న సంకేత శిల్పాన్ని చాలా మంది అధ్యయనం చేయడానికి దోహదం చేసింది. ఉపరిచరంలో వసువృత్తాంతం, ఇంద్రవృత్రాసురుల కథ, జలకథ ఈ మూడు పొరలలో కథ నడిచిందని ప్రతిపాదించారు. మహాకావ్య నిర్మాణానికి ఉపబలకంగా ఉండే అన్ని అంశాలు ‘శిల్పం’లో ఉంటా యి. ఈ శిల్పం ద్వారా కావ్య నిర్మాణాన్ని కవి చేసిన తీరును ఈ పీఠిక తెలియజేస్తుంది.

చేతనావర్తం ఆధునిక సాహిత్యలోకంలో తెచ్చిన మార్పు దేశీయమైంది. వైయక్తిక, సామాజిక అనుభూతులను వ్యక్తీకరించడంలో చేతనావర్త కవులు కొత్త దారులు వేశారు. ఈ పీఠికలో డార్విన్‌, ఫ్రాయిడ్‌, మార్క్స్‌, ఐన్‌స్టీన్‌ చేసిన శాస్త్రీయ భావాలపైన ఆధునికత నిలిచిందన్నారు. ౧౯౬౦ వరకున్న సాహిత్య వాతావరణాన్ని కూలంకషంగా చర్చించి, ఐహిక, భావ, ఆధ్యాత్మ రచన చేసేవారు చేతనావర్త కవులని భావించారు. సహృదయుడి నేపథ్యంతో విమర్శ నిర్మించవలసి ఉందన్న ప్రతిపాదన చేశారు. ఆధునిక సాహిత్య పరిణామాన్ని సూచించే పీఠిక ఇది.
స్వీయరచనల పీఠికల్లో పాంచరాత్రాగమశాస్త్ర అవగాహన తెలుస్తుంది. హనుమంతుడు, నృసింహుడు మొదలైన విషయాలపై రచించిన సిద్ధాంత వ్యాసాలు, సృజనాత్మక రచనలకు రాసిన పీఠికల్లో ఆయా భగవత్తత్వాలు తెలుస్తాయి. కృష్ణతత్త్వానికి సంబంధించిన పీఠికలు అంతరంగంలో ఎక్కువ. ఉత్పలవారి భ్రమరగీతాలకు రాసిన పీఠిక కృష్ణతత్త్వక్రమ పరిణామాన్ని చెబుతుంది.
ముదిగొండ వీరభద్రమూర్తి వందేమాతరం, బంకించంద్ర గ్రంథానికి రాసిన పీఠికలు భారతీయ జీవనమూల్యాలు పరిష్కృతం కావడానికి కారణమైన వారిని చెబుతూనే ప్రస్తుత కర్తవ్యాన్ని వివరిస్తాయి. కేతవరపు రామకోటి శాస్త్రి నాచన సోముడుకు రాసిన పీఠిక/సోమనపై వచ్చిన విమర్శ గ్రంథాలను ప్రస్తావించి తుమ్మపూడి వారిది సమగ్రమైందని సమన్వయ పూర్వకమైందని నిష్పాక్షికంగా చెప్పారు.

అంతరంగంలోని పీఠికలు పుస్తకం అట్టమీద ఉన్నట్టు ‘పీఠికలు కేవలం ప్రశంసలు కావు. కావ్యగర్భంలోనికి ప్రవేశించి దాని పరమార్థాన్ని వ్యాఖ్యానించేవి. పీఠికలో రచన/ రచయిత కంటే దానిచుట్టూ ఉన్న విషయానికి ప్రాధాన్యం ఇవ్వడం వలన పాఠకుడి జ్ఞానం మరింత విస్తృతమవుతుంది.
ఇందులోని సాహిత్య చరిత్ర విమర్శ వికాసాలకు సంబంధించిన పీఠికలు ఆయా రంగాల్లోని కొత్త మార్గాలను చెబుతున్నాయి. అయితే సుప్రసన్నగారి విస్తృత విషయ పరిజ్ఞానం పాఠకుడిని ఉక్కిరిబిక్కిరి చేస్తుంది. ఏ పీఠికకు ఆ పీఠికగా అధ్యయనం చేస్తే ప్రతి పీఠికా విజ్ఞాన సర్వస్వమవుతుంది. ఒక్కో పీఠిక ఒక్కో విమర్శాంత రంగాన్ని ఆవిష్కరిస్తుంది.
ఈ విధంగా వారి పీఠికలన్నీ ఒక్క దగ్గరికి చేర్చడం వల్ల సాహిత్య విమర్శలో కొత్త మార్గాలు తెలుసుకోవడానికి, లోటును దూరం చేసుకోడానికి ఉపయోగపడతాయి. అటువంటి పీఠికలకు టాగూర్‌ సాహిత్య అవార్డు రావడం సాహిత్య విమర్శకులకు ఆనందాన్ని కలిగించే విషయం.

విషాద వచనం

ఇవాళ మనకు కనిపిస్తున్న దృశ్యం సుస్పష్టం. నేటి పోరాటం ఆత్మగౌరవ ఆస్తిత్వ రేఖాచిత్రం. ఆర్థిక ఆధిక్యత తాత్కాలికం. రాజకీయపు పెత్తనాలు దీర్ఘకాలికం. కానీ సాంస్కృతికమైన పెత్తందారీతనం మాత్రం శాశ్వతం. ఇదిగో.. ఈ శాశ్వత ముద్రలు వేస్తున్న సాంస్కృతిక ఆధిపత్య దాడుల ప్రతిస్పందనలే జన హృదయ ఘోషలు. ఆకాశాన్నంటుతున్న విషాద పాటలు నెత్తుటి సంతకాలు.
ఇది నిజం.. నేటి తెలంగాణ గ్రామీణ జీవన విధ్వంసపు విషాద వచనం. ఇది సత్యం, తల్లడిల్లుతున్న పల్లె తెలంగాణ ఘోషలకు అక్షర రూపం. ఇది వాస్తవం, నాలుగు కోట్ల రతనాల వీణ వీర గాధల పల్లవుల పునాదుల అన్వేషణ. ఒకనాడు ప్రపంచ ప్రఖ్యాత ధనిక నియంత ఏడవ నిజాం నవాబు రుబాబుకు పోరాటపు జవాబు చెప్పిన తెలంగాణ అంతరంగపు సాంస్కృతిక విచ్ఛిన్న నేపథ్యం ఇది.
ఇది ఇవాళ్టి ధ్వంస రచన కాదు.. ఏడు శతాబ్దాల విధ్వంస రచన.. దాదాపు ఏడు వందల సంవత్సరాలుగా నిర్నిరోధంగా అట్టడుగుకు అణచివేయడానికి అనేక శక్తులు అనేక మార్గాల నుంచి చేస్తున్న ప్రయత్నాలను నిలువరించటానికి, నిర్మూలించటానికి నిరంతరంగా తెలంగాణ ప్రజలు చేస్తున్న బతుకు పోరాటం పతాక స్థాయికి చేరుకున్న వేళ ఇది. ఇప్పుడు గెలుపు సాధించకపోతే మరెప్పుడూ సాధించలేమని దృఢ నిశ్చయం చేసుకున్న సందర్భం ఇది.
ఎందుకిలా జరుగుతోంది..? స్వతంత్ర భారతం షష్టిపూర్తి చేసుకుని ఇన్నేళ్లయిన తరువాత కూడా భారత దేశంలో ఒక ప్రాంతం ఇంతగా అల్లాడిపోవలసిన అవసరం ఎందుకొచ్చింది? తమ ప్రాంతానికి స్వాతంత్య్రమే రాలేదన్నంతగా ఇక్కడి ప్రజలు ఎందుకు విలవిల్లాడిపోవలసి వస్తోంది? ఎంత ఎత్తో తెలియనంత ఎత్తుకు ఎగసిన ఒక గొప్ప సంస్కృతి అస్తిత్వాన్ని నిలబెట్టడానికి నాలుగు కోట్ల ఊపిరులు బిగపట్టి ఉద్యమిస్తున్నాయి.
ఏమిటీ సంస్కృతి గొప్పతనం? దీని పట్ల ఎందుకింత ద్వేషం? దీన్ని అణచివేయటానికి ఎందుకింతమంది ఒకరివెంట ఒకరుగా దాడులు చేస్తున్నారు..? ఆక్రమించుకోజూస్తున్నారు? ఒక్కసారి ఆలోచించండి... మన మూలాలు ఏమిటో ఒక్కసారి తెలుసుకోండి..

తెలంగాణా అంటే తెలుగు మాట్లాడే ప్రాంతం అని అర్థం.. అంటే అచ్చమైన తెలుగు భాష ను మాతృభాషగా వ్యవహరించే జాతి జీవించే ప్రాంతం తెలంగాణా అని అర్థం. నిజమైన తెలుగుదనం కనిపించే ప్రాంతం తెలంగాణాయే అనటంలో సందేహం లేదు.. కాకతీయుల పతనానంతరం 1323 తరువాత కాలం నుంచి 1948 వరకు రకరకాలుగా తెలంగాణ ప్రజల భాషాసంస్కృతులను అణచివేసే ప్రయత్నం నిరంతరాయంగా జరుగుతూనే వచ్చింది. అయితే ఈ ఆరువందల ఏళ్లలో జరిగిన అన్యాయం ఒక ఎత్తు అయితే, గత 50 సంవత్సరాలలో తెలంగాణాకు జరిగిన అన్యాయం మరో ఎత్తు.. అంతకు ముందు ఆరువందల సంవత్సరాలలో రాజులు, జమీందారులు తెలుగు భాషను కానీ, వారి సంస్కృతిని కానీ పట్టించుకోలేదు.. పక్కన పెట్టారు.. తమ మతాన్ని, భాషను రుద్దే ప్రయత్నం చేశారు. ఇంత నిర్బంధంలోనూ ఇక్కడ అసాధారణంగా సంస్కృతి, సాహిత్యం దేశంలోని మరే ప్రాంతానికీ తీసిపోని స్థాయిలో విలసిల్లింది. తెలుగుగడ్డపై తొలి సారి అక్షరాలను కూర్చిన గుణాఢ్యుడు బృహత్కథను రాసింది మెదక్‌ జిల్లా కొండాపూర్‌లో.. రామాయణం తొలి అనువాదం భాస్కర రామాయణం తెలంగాణాలో పుట్టింది. తొలి పురాణ అనువాదం మార్కండేయ పురాణం తెలంగాణా ప్రాంతంలోనే పుట్టింది. ఇక భాగవతం సంగతి సరేసరి.. బమ్మెర పోతన భాగవతం తెలుగు సాహిత్యంలో అజరామరమైన ఇతిహాసం. యక్షగానాలు మనదగ్గరే పుట్టాయి. శతకం తెలంగాణాలోనే పుట్టింది. బొమ్మల్లో పద్యాలు రాయటం వంటి గొప్ప ప్రక్రియ తెలంగాణ సొంతం. వీటన్నింటికీ ఆంధ్ర ప్రాంతంలో కొనసాగింపులే జరిగాయి తప్ప అక్కడ సృజనాత్మకతకు ఉన్న చోటు ఏమిటంటే ఏమీ చెప్పలేం.. గురజాడ అప్పారావు తొలి తెలుగు కథ రాశాడని చెప్పుకున్నారే కానీ, దానిపైన వివాదం రేగింది. కందుకూరి వీరేశలింగం తొలి తెలుగు నవల రాశానని తాను చెప్పుకున్నారే తప్ప అదీ వివాదాస్పదమే అయింది. ఆ ప్రాంతంలో తొలిసారి వెలుగులోకి వచ్చిందని చెప్పుకున్న ఏ ప్రక్రియా దాదాపుగా వివాదానికి చోటు చేసుకోకుండా ఉండలేదు.. ఒక్కమాటలో చెప్పాలంటే తెలంగాణ ప్రాంతంలో ఉప్పొంగిన సృజన మరెక్కడా మచ్చుకైనా కనిపించదు..
అందుకే 1956లో ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్‌లో తెలంగాణ ప్రాంతం విలీనం అయిన తరువాత సాహిత్య విధ్వంసం నాందిగా సాంస్కృతిక ధ్వంస రచనకు శ్రీకారం జరిగింది. మొట్టమొదట ఇక్కడ ఎలాంటి సృజన అన్నది జరగనే లేదని చెప్పేందుకు శతవిధాలా ప్రయత్నించారు.. బమ్మెర పోతన్నను వరంగల్‌ వాడు కాదని, కడప జిల్లా ఒంటిమిట్ట వాడని కనీవినీ ఎరుగని వాదనను లేవదీశారు.. అదే నిజమేనేమో అన్నంతగా ప్రచారం చేశారు.. వేముల వాడ భీమకవిని ద్రాక్షారామానికి చెందిన వాడంటూ మరో కథను సృష్టించారు. పాల్కురికి సోమనాథుడు కర్ణాటకలో ఎక్కడో హాల్కురికి అనే ఊరుందని, అక్కడి నుంచి వచ్చినవాడన్నారు.. మల్లినాథసూరిని, అప్పకవిని.. ఇలా తెలంగాణ ప్రాంతంలో ఓ పాటో, ఓ పద్యమో, ఓ కథో, ఓ కవితో , ఓ విప్లవమో ఏదైనా ఒక సృష్టి జరిగితే, దాన్ని సృష్టించిన వాడు తెలంగాణా ప్రాంతం వాడు కాదని నిరూపించేందుకు విపరీతమైన ప్రయత్నాలు జరుగుతూ వచ్చాయి. వీటన్నింటినీ తెలంగాణ ప్రజలు తీవ్రస్థాయిలో ప్రతిఘటించాల్సి వచ్చింది. మల్లినాథసూరి మెదక్‌ జిల్లా కొలిచెలిమ ప్రాంతానికి చెందిన వాడు. కాకునూరి అప్పకవి మహబూబ్‌ నగర్‌ వాసి. ఇక్కడి మేధావులు గట్టిగా తిప్పికొట్టారు కాబట్టి ఈ జాతి సృజన జీవనం ఈకాస్తయినా మిగిలింది. వాళ్ల ప్రాంతం వాళ్లయితే వాళ్లలో ప్రతిభ ఉన్నా లేకపోయినా నెత్తిన పెట్టుకుని మరీ వాళ్లకోసం మార్కెటింగ్‌ చేశారు. ఒక్క విజయనగరం ప్రాంతానికి సంబంధించిన మాండలికంలో కన్యాశుల్కం నాటకం రాసినందుకు గురజాడను వైతాళికుడని కీర్తించారు.. కానీ అదే సమయంలో తెలంగాణా ప్రాంతానికి చెందిన కాకతీయ ప్రతాపరుద్రుని కథాంశంతో, పాత్రోచిత వ్యవహార భాషలో ప్రతాపరుద్రీయం నాటకం వస్తే.. అది ఈ ప్రాంతానిది చెందింది కాబట్టి `ఇగ్నోర్‌' చేసి వదిలేశారు. దాన్ని నామరూపాలు లేకుండా అణచివేశారు.. విశేషం ఏమంటే ఆ నాటకం రాసింది ఆ ప్రాంతం వాడే అయిన వేదం వెంకట రాయశాస్త్రి.. అయినా సరే. .నాటకం తెలంగాణాది కావటమే అభ్యంతరం... ఇవాళ అలాంటి నాటకం ఒకటుందని ఎంతమందికి తెలుసు?
తెలుగువాళ్లను అందరినీ ఒకతాటిపైకి తీసుకువచ్చి పరిపాలించింది మొట్టమొదట శాతవాహనులు.. వారి రాజధాని ప్రస్తుతం మహారాష్టల్రోని ఔరంగాబాద్‌ సమీపంలో ఉన్న ప్రతిష్ఠానపురం... ఇది తెలంగాణా ప్రాంతానికి చెందినదే.. కానీ, శాతవాహనులను తమ సొంతం చేసుకునేందుకు వాళ్ల రెండోరాజధాని ధనుష్కోటి అయి ఉండవచ్చన్న ప్రచారం చేశారు.. ఇప్పటికీ దానికి ఎలాంటి స్పష్టమైన ఆధారాలు లేవు...అటు తరువాత తెలుగువాళ్లను ఏక ఛత్రాధిపత్యంగా పరిపాలించిన వాళ్లు కాకతీయులు. వాళ్ల రాజధాని కూడా ఓరుగల్లు... అయితే వీరికి మరో రాజధానిని ఆంధ్రప్రాంతంలో సృష్టించే అవకాశం లభించలేదు.. కానీ, వీరిని తమవాళు్లగా చెప్పుకునే ప్రయత్నాలు మాత్రం విస్తృతంగా జరిగాయి. కాకతీయులు తమ వర్గం వారని, వాళు్ల ఆంధ్రప్రాంతం నుంచే వలస వచ్చి ఓరుగల్లులో స్థిరపడిపోయినట్లుగా నిరూపించటానికి చేయని ప్రయత్నం అంటూ లేదు.. రాజమహేంద్రవరంపై ఆరుద్ర రాసిన పాటలో కాకతీయుల పేరు వాడుకుని కాకతీయుల్ని తమ సొంతం చేసుకునే ప్రయత్నం చేశారు. 1960లలో నల్గొండ జిల్లాకు చెందిన ప్రసిద్ధ శాసనకారుడు బిఎన్‌ శాస్త్రిగారి వద్దకు కొందరు ఆంధ్ర పెద్దలు వచ్చి కాకతీయులకు సంబంధించిన ఏదైనా శాసనంలో అర్థం మార్చమని కోరినట్లుగా అందుకు కొంత సొము్మ ఇవ్వజూపినట్లుగా కూడా శాస్త్రిగారే కొందరి వద్ద వాపోయారు. ఈ రకమైన ప్రయత్నం ఇప్పటికీ ఆగలేదు.. వాళ్ల వ్యాపార సంస్థలకు, విద్యాసంస్థలకు కాకతీయ పేరును వాడుకోవటం మనం స్పష్టంగానే గమనించవచ్చు.
తెలంగాణ ప్రాంతంలో చేసుకునే ఏ పండుగైనా మట్టివాసనతో ముడిపడి ఉంటుంది. మట్టిని కాదని ఇక్కడి ప్రజలు బతకలేరు.. దేశమంటే మట్టికాదోయ్‌ అని మట్టిని విస్మరించి బతకటం ఇక్కడి ప్రజలకు చేతకాదు.. అసలు తెలంగాణ పేరులోనే మట్టి అస్తిత్వం గోచరిస్తుంది. తెలుగుల మాగాణం తెలంగాణం అని అన్నారు.. తెలుగును సిరులుగా పండించే భూమి అని అర్థం. అందుకే ఇక్కడ ప్రతి పండుగా ఆ మట్టితోనే ముడిపడి ఉంటుంది. తెలంగాణ పద సీమల్లో ప్రకృతి పరవశించి తాండవం చేస్తుంది. దానికి ప్రతిరూపమే తెలంగాణలో ఘనంగా జరుపుకునే పండుగ బొడ్డెమ్మ, బతుకమ్మ. దసరాకు ముందు ఇరవై రోజుల పాటు చేసుకునే పండుగలివి. మొదటి తొమ్మిది రోజులు మట్టితో బొడ్డెమ్మను చేసి పాటలు పాడుకుంటూ కన్నెపిల్లలు పండుగ చేసుకుంటే, తరువాత పూలతో జరుపుకునే పండుగ బతుకమ్మ.. ప్రపంచంలో పూవులతో తొమ్మిది రోజులపాటు పండుగ జరుపుకునే సంస్కృతి ఉన్న ఏకైక జాతి తెలంగాణాయే అనటంలో సందేహం లేదు.. దీని గురించి వర్ణించేందుకు ఎన్ని వర్ణనలైనా చాలవు. రాష్ట్రంలో పది జిల్లాల్లో అంటే దాదాపు యాభై శాతం రాష్ట్రం వైభవంగా జరుపుకునే ఈ పండుగను ఏనాడు ప్రభుత్వాలు గుర్తించలేదు. ఇది కూడా ఓ పండుగేనా అన్న ఈసడింపులు కూడా ఎదురైన సందర్భాలు ఉన్నాయి. బతుకమ్మను ఒక పండుగగా ఇవాళ్టికీ పరిగణించని పరిస్థితి నెలకొంది. ఇప్పుడు గత తొమ్మిది సంవత్సరాలలో తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమం ఊపందుకున్న తరువాత కానీ బతుకమ్మ చర్చలోకి రాలేదు.
అదే విధంగా బోనాలు.. రాష్ట్ర రాజధానిలో నెల రోజుల పాటు నిరంతరంగా జరిగే పండుగ బోనాలు.. అమ్మవారికి భోజనాలు పెట్టడమే బోనాలు.. ఇది కూడా వ్యవసాయంతో ముడిపడి ఉన్నదే. ప్రతి ముఖ్యమంత్రి బోనాల నాడు సికిందరాబాద్‌లోని ఉజ్జయిని మహంకాళి ఆలయానికి రావటం మినహా దీన్ని పట్టించుకున్న నాథుడు లేడు..
ఇక మేడారంలో సమ్మక్క, సారలమ్మ జాతర.. మూడు రాషా్టల్ర నుంచి దాదాపు కోటి మంది భక్తులు రెండేళ్లకోసారి చేసుకునే పండుగకు నాలుగు దశాబ్దాల పాటు పోరాడితే కానీ, రాష్ట్ర ప్రభుత్వం దానిపై దృష్టి పెట్టలేకపోయింది. భారీ ఎత్తున జనం రావటం, హుండీలు నిండటం వల్ల ఆ ఆదాయాన్ని క్రమబద్దీకరించే నెపంతో దేవాదాయ శాఖ వేలు పెట్టింది. కానీ, మేడారంలో చేసిన అభివృద్ధి అంటూ ఏమీ లేదు. అక్కడి జంపన్న వాగు శుద్ధి జరగలేదు.. అక్కడి ప్రజలు బాగుపడిందీ లేదు.
కొమరవెల్లి , ఐనవోలు, కురవి, కొండగట్టు, వేములవాడ ఇలా తెలంగాణాలోని ప్రతి జిల్లాలో ప్రతి ప్రాంతంలో ఎప్పుడూ ఏదో ఒక జాతర జరుగుతూనే ఉంటుంది. ఇక్కడి ప్రతి పండుగా సామూహికంగా, సమష్టిగా జరుపుకునేవే. కులభేదాలు లేకుండా అంతా ఒక్కటై నిర్వహించే పర్వదినాలు తెలంగాణాలో ఉన్నన్ని మరెక్కడా లేవు. చిన్నాపెద్దా తేడా లేకుండా, వయోభేదం లేకుండా, కులమతాల భేషజాలు లేకుండా నిర్వహించుకునే ఈ పండుగలను, జాతరలను పండుగలే కావన్నారు.. జాతరలే కావన్నారు.. ఇవి కూడా పండుగలేనా అని నిరసించారు.. ఇవి కూడా వేడుకలేనా అని ఎద్దేవా చేశారు.. అనాగరకులు చేసుకునే పండుగలన్నారు.. తెలంగాణ ప్రాంతానికి మహారాష్టత్రో ఉన్న సంబంధాల కారణంగా హోళీ తెలంగాణకు ప్రధానమైన పండుగ అయింది. జాతీయోద్యమంలో భాగంగా మహారాష్టల్రో ప్రారంభమైన వినాయకచవితి ఉత్సవాలు తెలంగాణాలోనూ వైభవంగా జరుగుతాయి. పీర్ల పండుగను ఇక్కడి ప్రజలు సమష్టిగా చేసుకుంటారు.. కానీ, ఇవేవీ పండుగల్లా అక్కడి ప్రాంతం వాళ్లకు కనిపించలేదు. క్రమంగా తెలంగాణ పండుగలపై వాళ్ల పండుగలు సూపర్‌ ఇంపోజ్‌ అయ్యాయి. అవే గొప్ప పండుగలని, తెలంగాణలోని పండుగలు పండుగలే కాదన్నంత భావనను ప్రచారం చేశారు.. 50 ఏళు్లగా ఇక్కడ ఉన్న ఆంధ్ర ప్రాంత ప్రజలు బతుకమ్మను జరుపుకోరు.. బోనాల వంకైనా చూడరు.. కానీ, తెలంగాణ ప్రజలు సంక్రాంతికి గొబ్బెమ్మలు పెట్టడం అలవాటు చేసుకున్నారు.. కానీ, ఆంధ్రప్రాంత ప్రజలు తెలంగాణా పండుగల్లో ఒక్కనాడు కూడా మమేకం అయిన సందర్భం ఒక్కటంటే ఒక్కటి కనిపించదు.. పండుగలకు సమైక్యతకు సంబంధం ఏమిటి అని అడగవచ్చు. ఉంది. ఇవాళ సమైక్యం గురించి వాదిస్తున్న వాళ్లంతా తెలుగు వాళ్లందరూ ఒకటేనని, తెలుగు జాతి ఒకటే అని, పాలుపొంగు మన తెలుగు గడ్డను పగులగొట్టవద్దనే కదా అంటున్నారు.. మరి అం తా ఒకటే అయినప్పుడు.. అన్ని సంస్కృతులను తమవిగా భావించాలి కదా.. తెలంగాణా వాళు్ల ఆ పని చేస్తున్నారు..చేశారు. అన్ని ప్రాంతాల ప్రజలను తమ వాళు్లగా, సోదరులుగా, కుటుంబ సభ్యులుగా ఆదరించారు.. అక్కున చేర్చుకున్నారు.. ఆప్యాయంగా పలకరించారు.. మరి వాళు్ల , తెలంగాణా ప్రజలతో కలిసిమెలిసి ఉందామని హృదయపూర్వకంగా భావిస్తున్నామని చెప్పుకుంటున్న వాళు్ల యాభై ఏళ్లలో ఒక్కనాడైనా తెలంగాణ సంస్కృతిని తమదిగా భావించి, ఆదరించిన సందర్భం ఒక్కటంటే ఒక్కటి లేదు కదా.. ఏనాడైనా వాళ్లకు బతుకమ్మ తెలుసా? బోనాలు తెలుసా? జాతరల్లో జన జాతరల గురించి తెలుసా? వాళ్ల దృష్టిలో ఇవేవీ పండుగలు కావు.. అనాగరికులు.. అజ్ఞానులు, మూఢులు, చేసుకునే కిందిస్థాయి సంబరాలు మాత్రమే.. వాటికి తెలుగు పండుగలన్న హోదా కల్పించటం కూడా వారి దృష్టిలో అతి పెద్ద ద్రోహం కింద లెక్క.
జానపదం అంటే అంటే అనాగరికులని, చదువుకున్న వాళు్ల కాదనే ఒకానొక భ్రమ ఆంధ్రప్రాంతం వాళ్లలో ఉంది.. జానపదులంటే వాళ్లకు చదువు లేదని, ఏవో పదాలు పాడుకుంటూ బాంచన్‌ కాల్మొక్తా అంటూ దొరల దగ్గర వెట్టి చేసుకుని బతికిన వాళ్లే తెలంగాణ వాళ్లని, ఆంధ్రప్రదే శ్‌ ఏర్పడిన తరువాతే ఈమాత్రమైనా పురోగతి సాధించారని చెప్తారు. ప్రచారం చేస్తారు.. నమ్మబలుకుతారు.. దాండిగతనం ప్రదర్శిస్తారు. కానీ తెలంగాణ మాండలికం (ఇప్పుడు అధికారికంగా వాడుతున్న రెండున్నర జిల్లాల భాష కానిదేదైనా ప్రస్తుతానికి ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్‌లో మాండలికంగానే గుర్తింపు ఉంది.) తెలంగాణ జనులు వ్యవహారంలో వాడే భాష,ను అనాగరకుల, అజ్ఞానుల నిరక్షరులి యాస అంటూ తీసిపారేశారు.. వెటకారం చేశారు.. అదేమంటే ఆటపట్టించాం అంటారు.. మా మాండలికాన్ని కూడా ఆటపట్టిస్తున్నారు అంటారు..నిజమే అన్ని ప్రాంతాల మాండలికాల్ని ఆటపట్టిస్తున్నారంటే దాన్ని కాదనాల్సిన పని లేదు. ఆట పట్టింపును స్పోర్టివ్‌గా తీసుకోవాలి.. కానీ, ఆటపట్టింపుకు, వెటకారానికి మధ్య తేడా చాలా ఉంది. ర్యాగింగ్‌ పేరుతో ఆటపట్టించటానికి, వేధించటానికి ఉన్న తేడాయే ఇక్కడ కూడా ఉంటుంది. మిగతా మాండలికాల విషయంలో జరిగింది ఆటపట్టింపు.. తెలంగాణా భాష విషయంలో జరిగింది వెటకారం. ఈ వెటకారం కేవలం సినిమాల్లోనే కాదు.. సాధారణ జనజీవనంలో కూడా తెలంగాణ ప్రజలు ఎదుర్కొన్నారు.. ఎదుర్కొంటున్నారు.. చివరకు పరిస్థితి ఎలా తయారైందంటే తెలంగాణ భాషలో మాట్లాడితే అదొక రకమైన ఇన్ఫీరియారిటీ కాంప్లెక్‌‌సకు లోనయ్యే దశకు చేరుకుంది. ఈ విధంగా భాషను మాట్లాడనీయకుండా చేయటంలో వారు సక్సెస్‌ అయ్యారనే చెప్పాలి. నిజానికి తెలంగాణాలో మాట్లాడే భాష తెలుగుకు ఓ ప్రాంత మాండలికం కానే కాదు.. ఇది పూర్తి స్థాయి భాష. సంపూర్థంగా వికసించిన భాష. దాదాపు ఏడు వందల సంవత్సరాల పాటు ప్రభుత్వ పోషణ లేక, ఆదరణ లేక పోవటం వల్లనే తెలంగాణాలో తెలుగు భాష కలుషితం కాలేదు.. అధికారుల స్థాయిల్లో, పరిపాలన స్థాయిలో ఉర్దూయే రాజభాషగా ఉండటం వల్ల, ఇక్కడి ప్రజలు తమ తెలుగును తామే పరిరక్షించుకున్నారు. పట్టణాల్లోనైనా, పల్లెల్లో అయినా, పాట పుట్టినా, ఆట పుట్టినా, తిరుగుబాటైనా, సంప్రదాయమైనా, గ్రామీణమైనా, ఏ ఒక్కదాన్నీ ఏ ఒక్కటీ నిరసించలేదు. ఇక్కడ అన్నీ కలగలిసే ముందుకు సాగాయి. పల్లే కన్నీరూ పెడుతుందో అన్నా, నీ పాదం మీద పుట్టుమచ్చనై చెల్లెమ్మా, అన్నా పది జిల్లల నీ పిల్లలు ప్రణమిల్లిన శుభ తరుణం అన్నా.. అచ్చమైన తెలుగులోని అసాధారణ పదవిన్యాసమే కనిపిస్తుంది. ఇక్కడ జానపదానికి, సంప్రదాయానికి పెద్దగా తేడా కనిపించదు. జాను తెనుగు గుభాళించిన సాహిత్య సంస్కృతులు ఇక్కడి కణ కణంలో విలసిల్లాయి. అందుకే ఇక్కడ సహజ పాండిత్యంతో ఒక బమ్మెర పోతన పుట్టాడు ఆకాలంలో.. అక్షరాభ్యాసం అంటే ఏమీ తెలియకుండానే, చదువు సంధ్యల జ్ఞానం సముపార్జించకుండానే గొప్ప ప్రజాకవిగా అందెశ్రీ జన్మించాడు ఈకాలంలో... తెలంగాణ గడ్డపైనే సృజన మూలాలు విస్తరించి ఉన్నాయి. వాటిని పెకిలించటం ఎవరితరం? తెలంగాణేతర తెలుగు ప్రాంతాల్లో బ్రిటిష్‌ ఇంగ్లీష్‌ తెలుగును ఆక్రమించుకుంది. అక్కడి భాష సంకరమైంది. ఇప్పుడు ఆ సంకర భాషను ప్రామాణికం చేసేసుకుని దాన్ని నిజమైన తెలుగు భాషపై రుద్ది, దాన్ని కనుమరుగు చేసే ప్రయత్నం జరుగుతోంది. కానీ అది సాధ్యమయ్యే పనేనా?
తెలంగాణ నగర జీవితాన్ని గురించి తక్కువ చేసి మాట్లాడటం చాలా సులువే.. కానీ వాస్తవాల్ని అంగీకరించగలగటం చాలా కష్టం. తెలంగాణలో నాగరికత 1956 వరకు లేదన్న వాదనే ఇంతకాలం బలంగా వినిపిస్తూ వస్తున్నారు.. కానీ భారత దేశంలో మిగతా ప్రాంతాలతో పోలిస్తే చాలా వేగంగా నాగరికత విలసిల్లిన ప్రాంతం తెలంగాణా.. దీన్ని రుజువు చేసేందుకు పెద్దగా శాస్త్ర పరిజ్ఞానం అక్కర లేదు. పుస్తకాలు, శాసనాలు చదవక్కరలేదు. ఇక్కడి జనజీవనాన్ని అధ్యయనం చేయటానికి ఈ ప్రాంతంలోని దేవాలయాలను సందర్శిస్తే చాలు.. అక్కడి శిల్పాల్లోనే తెలంగాణా జనజీవితం ప్రతిబింబిస్తుంది. రామప్ప ఆలయంలోని శిల్పాల్లో ఓ యువతి ఎత్తు మడమల చెప్పులు వేసుకుని కనిపిస్తుంది. మరో యువతి వేషధారణ, జడకట్టు ఈ తరానికి ఎంతమాత్రం తీసిపోనట్లుగా ఉంటుంది. ఇలాంటి శిల్పాలు ఎన్నెన్నో కనిపిస్తాయి. ఎప్పుడో వెయ్యేళ్ల క్రితం చెక్కిన శిల్పాలు ఇవి. నీటి పునాదులపై వేయి స్తంభాల ఆలయం నిర్మించిన ఘనత తెలంగాణాది. నీటిపై తేలే ఇటుకలను రూపొందించిన నైపుణ్యం తెలంగాణాది. దేశంలో ఏ మూలకు వెళ్లినా పాలమూరు నిర్మాణ నిపుణుల ప్రతిభ కొట్టొచ్చినట్లు కనిపిస్తుంది. అలంపూరు దేవాలయం నీట మునిగితే యథాతథం గా తరలించి మరో చోట మూల నిర్మాణానికి అంగుళం కూడా తేడా రాకుండా నిర్మించగలిగిన మేధ తెలంగాణాది. అగ్గిపెట్టెలో ఆరంగుళాల చీరను పట్టించిన నేతన్నలు పుట్టిన నేల ఇది... ఇవాళ ఆ నిర్మాణ నిపుణులంతా పొట్ట గడవక , బతుకు భారమై భారతదేశంలోని మూల మూలకు వెళ్లి రూపాయి యాచించుకోవలసిన దుస్థితిలో ఉన్నాడు. ఇక నేతన్నకు బతుకే హేయమై బలవంతంగా ఉసురు తీసుకుంటున్నాడు..
తెలంగాణా సంస్కృతిలో ప్రత్యేకంగా చెప్పుకోవలసినవి లలిత కళలు. అందులో నృత్యం ముఖ్యమైంది. ఇక్కడ ఓ విచిత్రం జరిగింది. తమిళనాడుకు భరత నాట్యం ఎలాగో , ఒరిస్సాకు ఒడిస్సీ ఎలాగో, కేరళకు కథాకళి ఎలాగో తెలుగు వారికి కూడా కూచిపూడి ఓ ప్రత్యేకమైన నృత్య సంప్రదాయమని, దాన్ని కృష్ణా జిల్లాలోని కూచిపూడిలో సిద్దేంద్ర యోగి దాని రూపశిల్పి అని మనం అంతా గౌరవిస్తున్నాం.. ఆ నృత్యాన్ని ఆచరిస్తున్నాం. కానీ, ఇరవయ్యో శతాబ్దపు తొలినాళ్లలోనే కూచిపూడిపై వివాదం చెలరేగింది. తమ భరతనాట్యానికి కొంత నాటకీయత చేర్చి దాన్నే కూచిపూడిగా చెప్తున్నారని తమిళులు పెద్ద వివాదాన్ని రేపారు.. దీనిపై వాదోపవాదాలు తీవ్రంగానే జరిగాయి. ఇందులో వాస్తవం ఏమిటన్న లోతుల్లోకి వెళ్లాల్సిన అవసరం లేదు. ఆయితే వివాదాలకు తావు లేని విధంగా, మనదైన, మనకు మాత్రమే పరిమితమైన, మనకు మాత్రమే ప్రత్యేకమైన నృత్య కళ తెలంగాణాలో వెయ్యేళ్ల క్రితమే ఆవిర్భవించింది. కాకతీయుల సేనానిగా ఉన్న జాయపసేనాని నృత్త రత్నావళి అన్న పేరుతో ఓ శాసా్తన్న్రే రచించాడు... దాని ఆధారంగానే రామప్పలో నృత్య భంగిమల్లో శిల్పాలు విలసిల్లాయి. పేరిణీ నృత్యం పుట్టింది. దీనిపై ఎలాంటి వివాదాలకు తావు లేదు. కానీ దీన్ని ఒక జానపద, గ్రామీణ నృత్యరీతి స్థాయికి దిగజార్చడానికి చేయాల్సిన ప్రయత్నం అంతా చేశారు. దీన్ని తెలుగువారి నృత్యంగా, నృత్తరత్నావళిని తెలుగువారి నాట్యశాస్త్రం గా అంగీకరించే మనసు లేకుండా పోయింది.
తెలంగాణ సంస్కృతిలో మర్యాదలు, మన్ననలు విశిష్టంగా ఉంటాయి. కులభేదాలకు అతీతంగా ఉంటాయి. గ్రామానికి గ్రామాలు ఒక కుటుంబంగా ఉంటాయి. చాకలి, కమ్మరి, కుమ్మరి, మంగలి, వడ్రంగి, తమ్మలి, దళిత, బేగారె, నీరడి కులాలెన్నో తెలంగాణా పల్లెల్లో మనకు కనిపిస్తాయి. వీళ్ల మధ్య అనూహ్యమైన అనుబంధాలు, బంధుత్వ పిలుపులు కనిపిస్తాయి. వినిపిస్తాయి. వారిలో ఒకరికి ఒకరు అన్న, మామ, బావ, వదిన, అక్క, ఇలా రకరకాల బంధాలు ప్రజల అనుబంధాలను పెనవేస్తాయి. ఇళ్లల్లో కూడా ఇదే రకమైన విధానం కనిపిస్తుంది. ``ఏందె నాయినా'' అని పిలవటంలో ఉండే ఆత్మీయత, నాన్నగారూ...వదినగారూ.. మరిదిగారూ.. అని పిలవటంలో ఉండదు. ఎవరినైనా ఆప్యాయంగా అక్కున చేర్చుకోవటంలో కానీ, సహాయపడటంలో కానీ, తెలంగాణా ప్రజలు ముందుంటారు.. ఈ గుణం తెలంగాణ ప్రజల్లో అధికంగా ఉంటుందని సుప్రసిద్ధ పరిశోధకులు బిఎన్‌ శాస్త్రి వ్యాఖ్యానించారు.. దీనికి కారణం భౌగోళిక పరిస్థితులేనని ఆయన అంటారు. ఒక ప్రదేశంలోని భౌగోళిక స్థితిగతులు అక్కడి సమాజంపైనా, వ్యక్తిగత జీవితంపైనా ఖచ్చితంగా ప్రభావం చూపిస్తాయి. మైదాన ప్రాంతాల్లో జీవించే వారికి, పీఠ భూముల్లో నివసించే వారికి మధ్య అంతరం ఎంతో ఉంటుంది. మైదాన ప్రాంతాల వారు లౌక్యంగా వ్యవహరిస్తారు.. హుందాగా కనిపిస్తారు.. పీఠభూమి ప్రాంత వాసులు ఇందుకు పూర్తి భిన్నంగా ఉంటారు.. సూటిగా ఉంటారు. తెలంగాణ ప్రాంతం పీఠభూమి ప్రాంతం. ఇక్కడ వర్షాభావ పరిస్థితులు ఎక్కువ . ఈ స్థితిలోనూ వర్షాధార సేద్యానికి అలవాటు పడ్డవాళు్ల కాబట్టే, తెలంగాణ ప్రజలు బుద్ధి కంటే ఎక్కువగా హృదయాన్ని అభిమానించారు. బుద్ధికి పదును పెట్టిన వారు, దానితో ఈ హృదయాన్ని ముక్కలు చేశారు..

మనుగడ కోసం పోరాటం అనే డార్విన్‌ సూత్రం తెలంగాణ జనజీవనంలో ప్రతి అడుగులో కనిపిస్తుంది. నిరంతర అణచివేత కుట్రల కారణంగానే తెలంగాణ ప్రజలు తెగింపును సాధించుకున్నారు. ప్రాచీన భారతంలో హర్హవర్థనుడు, మధ్యయుగంలో ఖిల్జీలు, తుగ్లక్‌లు, ఆ తరువాత బహుమనీలు, కుతుబుషాహీలు, అసఫ్‌ జాహీలు.. స్వాతంత్య్రం తరువాత ఇప్పటి పాలకవర్గం తెలంగాణాపై దండయాత్రకు వెళ్లారు.. ఎందుకంటే ఉత్తర దక్షిణ భారత దేశాలకు తెలంగాణ ప్రాంతం ఒక అనుబంధ సేతువు. ఇదొక వూ్యహాత్మక స్థావరం. దక్షిణ భారత దేశంలో పెత్తనం నిలుపుకోవ…ననికి ఇది కీలక స్థావరం. అందుకే నిరంతర యుద్ధాలతో, పోరాటాలతో తెలంగాణా రణస్థలికి పర్యాయపదంగా మారిపోయింది. నాడు పోరాట బాటలో నడిచిన రాజులు వారి సిపాయిల కోసం నల్లగొండ, దేవరకొండ, వేల్పుగొండ, కొయ్యలకొండ, ఉండ్రకొండ, కవులాస్‌, రాచకొండ, మెదక్‌ మానుగల్లు, గోలకొండ, ఖమ్మం వంటి చోట్ల దుర్గాలు నిర్మించుకున్నారు.. మరి ఈనాడు పోరాట బాట పట్టిన వారికి ఆయుధాలు లేవు. అహింసతోనే అడుగులు ముందుకు కదులుతున్నాయి. వీరికి దుర్గాలు వేరే అక్కర లేదు. లక్ష్యం సాధించేవరకూ ఈ ఉద్యమకారుల కాళ్లకు అలుపు ఉండదు.. వీరికి వెన్నూ దన్నూ నాలుగు కోట్ల ప్రజల భావోద్వేగమే.

జంట నగరాల చరిత్రలోకి ఒకసారి తొంగిచూస్తే....

హైదరాబాద్‌సికిందరాబాద్‌ జంటనగరాల్లో అనిర్వచనీయమైన ఆకర్షణ ఉంది. ఇక్కడ బతికిన వాళు్ల.. బతుకుతున్న వారందరికీ ఇది అనుభవమైనదే. జంటనగరాల ఆశ్రయాన్ని ఒకసారి పొందిన వారు తిరిగి ఆ ప్రాంతం నుంచి కదిలేందుకు ఇష్టపడరు...
మొఘల్‌ చక్రవర్తి ఔరంగజేబు కాలం వరకు హైదరాబాద్‌కు ప్రాధాన్యం లేదు.. గోలకొండ ప్రాంతం నుంచే నగర పరిపాలన సాగింది. ఔరంగజేబ్‌ తరువాతే హైదరాబాద్‌కు ప్రాధాన్యం పెరుగుతూ వచ్చింది.
హైదరాబాద్‌ నూటికి నూరుపాళు్ల తెలుగు పట్టణం కాదు.. జంటనగరాల్లో ఈనాటికీ నికారై్సన తెలుగుదనం కనిపించదు. తెలుగు తెలంగాణ జిల్లాల ప్రజల భాష. తెలుగు, కన్నడ, మరాఠీ, ఉర్దూ, తమిళ, ఇరానియన్‌ తదితర భాషలతో భాగ్యనగరం బహుభాషా నిలయంగా రూపుదిద్దుకుంది.
(courtesy..ఆత్మ కథల్లో ఆనాటి తెలంగాణా పుస్తకం లోంచి..రచన జి.బాల శ్రీనివాసమూర్తి )

హైదరాబాద్‌లో విలసిల్లిన సంస్కృతి దక్కనీ సంస్కృతి. తెలుగు, మరాఠీ, కన్నడ భాషల ప్రజలు.. ఇరానియన్‌ దక్కన్‌ ప్రవాసుల భాషలతో కలగలిసిన భాషగా దక్కనీ భాష పుట్టుకొచ్చింది. ఇవాళ ఇది నిర్లక్ష్యానికి గురైంది.
19వ శతాబ్దంలోనే భాగ్యనగరానికి వలసలు ఆరంభమయ్యాయి. ఉత్తర భారతం నుంచి కాయస్థులు, ముస్లింలు తరలివచ్చారు. నిజాం సర్కారులో ఉన్నతోద్యోగాలు సంపాదించారు. రాజస్థానీ మార్వాడీలు ఇక్కడికి వచ్చి వ్యాపారాలు చేసుకున్నారు. 1948 తరువాత ఆంధ్రప్రాంతం నుంచి వలసలు మొదలయ్యాయి. 1956 తరువాత ఉద్ధృతమయ్యాయి. గుంటూరు పల్లెలు అప్పుడు ఏర్పడినవే.
1938 దాకా హైదరాబాద్‌ నగరంలో చిన్నస్థాయి మతకల్లోలం కూడా జరగలేదు.. అన్ని ప్రాంతాల నుంచి వచ్చిన ప్రజలు సామరస్యంతో జీవించారు.
హైదరాబాద్‌ నగర పాలన విషయంలో నిజాం రాజ్యవ్యవస్థ అపరిమితమైన ఆసక్తిని చూపించింది. దేశం మొత్తం మీద తొలి భూగర్భ డ్రైనేజీ వ్యవస్థను ఏర్పాటు చేసుకున్న ఘనత హైదరాబాద్‌దే.
ఇవాళ నగరం నడిబొడ్డులో ఉన్న పంజగుట్ట ప్రాంతం ఒకనాడు నగరానికి నాలుగుమైళ్ల దూరంలో ఉన్న అటవీ ప్రాంతం అంటే ఆశ్చర్యం వేస్తుంది. ఉస్మానియా విశ్వవిద్యాలయం ప్రారంభం నుంచి విద్యానగర్‌ ప్రాంతం కూడా అడవే.. అక్కడ పశువులను మేతకు తీసుకువెళ్లేవారట...
మహానగరిలో అడవిని నిర్మించిన ఘనత కూడా ఆనాటి పరిపాలకుల ఖాతాలోకే చేరుతుంది. నాంపల్లిలో కృత్రిమ అటవీ నిర్మాణం జరిగింది. అదే ఇవాళ్టి పబ్లిక్‌ గార్డెన్‌‌స... దీన్ని ఆ కాలంలో `బాగే ఆమ్‌' అని పిలిచేవారు. ఇందులోనే ఓ మూల జూ ఉండేది. బాగ్‌ అంటే తోట అని అర్థం.
ఒకనాటి భాగ్యనగరం కాలుష్యానికి ఆమడ దూరంలో ఉండేది. పటాన్‌ చెరువు, జీడిమెట్ల, సనత్‌నగర్‌ తదితర ప్రాంతాల్లో చాలాకాలం క్రితమే భారీ పరిశ్రమలు విస్తరించాయి. అయినా ఆనాడు అవి నగర శివార్లలో ఉన్నవే. నగరం నగరం నలువైపులా చమన్లు, తోటలు పెంచటంతో కాలుష్యానికి తావే లేకుండాపోయింది.
1922నాటికే హైదరాబాద్‌లో వస్త్ర పరిశ్రమకు పునాదులు పడ్డాయి. దివాన్‌ బహదూర్‌ రాంగోపాల్‌ మిల్లుల్లో 1300 మంది కార్మికులు పనిచేసేవారు..
జంటనగరాల్లో 20వ శతాబ్ది తొలినాళ్ల వరకు మోటర్‌ కారు అంటే తెలియదు. ఎక్బాలుద్దౌలా అనే ఆయన మొట్టమొదటిసారి మోటారు కారును హైదరాబాద్‌ వీధుల్లో నడిపించారు. ఆయన వాడింది ఆనాటికే పాతబడిన మోటారు కారు.. ఆ తరువాత ముసల్లింజంగ్‌, కమాల్‌యార్‌జంగ్‌, రాజారామ్‌రాయన్‌, లక్ష్మణ్‌రాజ్‌లు కొత్త తరహా మోటారు కార్లు కొన్నారు.. వీరంతా ఆనాటి హైదరాబాద్‌ ప్రముఖులు.
1911 సంవత్సరంలో హైదరాబాద్‌లో ఉన్న మోటారు కార్ల సంఖ్య 118 అని నిజాం ప్రభుత్వ రికార్డుల్లో ఉంది. 1934లో గాంధీజీ హైదరాబాద్‌ వచ్చినప్పుడు సంపన్నుడైన ధన్‌రాజ్‌ గిర్‌జీ తన రోల్‌‌సరాయిస్‌ కారును ఆయన కోసం అందుబాటులో ఉంచారు. అప్పటికే రోల్‌‌సరాయిస్‌ కారు హైదరాబాద్‌ వీధుల్లో తిరిగింది.
1920 నాటికి హైదరాబాద్‌ జనాభా నాలుగు లక్షలు. మోటారు కార్ల సంఖ్య తక్కువ. అప్పుడు రిక్షాలు లేవు. ఆటోరిక్షాలు అంతకంటే లేవు. సంపన్నులకు బగ్గీలు ఉండేవి. అద్దె టాంగాలు ఉండేవి. సైకిళ్ల సంఖ్య మాత్రం వేల సంఖ్యలో ఉండేవి. మోటారు వాహనం వస్తుందంటే ట్రాఫిక్‌ పోలీసు సీటీ ఊదేవాడు..ప్రజలంతా ఆ మోటారును విచిత్రంగా చూసేవారు.
1930వ దశకంలో హైదరాబాద్‌లో ట్రాఫిక్‌ తీవ్రత తక్కువైనా పూర్తిస్థాయి ట్రాఫిక్‌ క్రమశిక్షణను పాటించేవారు. రోడ్లన్నీ పరిశుభ్రంగా ఉండేవి.. టాంగాలు ఎక్కువ. రోడ్ల మీద కొంత కొంత దూరాలకు రేకులు, తట్టలు పట్టుకుని కొందరు మనుష్యులు ఉండేవారు. గుర్రం లద్ది పెట్టినా, చెత్త పడినా వెంటనే తీసేవారు.
హైదరాబాద్‌ నగరంలో దేవిడీల సంస్కృతి ఎక్కువ. ఢిల్లీ, లక్నో, కాశీ వంటి నగరాల మాదిరిగానే ఇక్కడా దేవిడీలు ఎక్కువగానే ఉన్నాయి. ఆనాటి నవాబులు, జమీందారులు దేవిడీలు నిర్మించుకుని అందులో దర్జాగా నివసించేవారు. ఇప్పటికీ కొన్ని దేవిడీలు నేటికీ నగరంలో కనిపిస్తాయి.
20వ శతాబ్దం ప్రారంభం కావటానికి ముందువరకు హైదరాబాద్‌లో హోటళు్ల, వసతి గృహాలు లేవు. ధర్మశాలలే ఉండేవి. హైదరాబాద్‌కు వచ్చిన వారు ధర్మశాలలో వండుకుని తినే వారు. ఉచితంగా అన్నదానం కూడా చేసేవారు.
1943లో ఉస్మానియా ఆసుపత్రి ఎదురుగా చింతల నర్సమ్మ భోజనశాల ఉండేది. అన్నం, పప్పు, రెండు కూరలు, ఊరగాయ, కాచిన నెయ్యి, గడ్డ పెరుగుతో భోజనం లభించేది. నెలకు రెండుపూటల భోజనానికి రెండు రూపాయలు, వసతికి మరో రెండురూపాయలు తీసుకునేవారు.
హైదరాబాద్‌లో హోటళు్ల ప్రారంభమైన తొలినాళ్లలో విచిత్రమైన పరిస్థితి ఉండేది. జనం హోటళ్లకు వెళడానికి మొహమాటపడేవారు.. ఆనాడు హోటళ్లను చాయ్‌ఖానా అని పిలిచేవారు.. చాయ్‌ఖానాకు వెళ్లడం అంటే సారాయి దుకాణానికి వెళ్లినట్లు భయపడేవారు..
1920 నాటికి కానీ హైదరాబాద్‌లో హోటళు్ల రాలేదు. టీ, కాఫీలతో పాటు ఉప్మా, వడ,దోశ వంటి టిఫిన్లు ఎక్కడో అరుదుగా లభించేవి. గౌలిగూడ రామమందిరం ప్రాంతంలో సుబ్బారావు హోటల్‌ అనేది తొలి హోటళ్లలో ఒకటి.
1920 లలో హైదరాబాద్‌లో నాష్తాలు ఖాజీ పకోడా, పూరీసాగ్‌, పూరీచూన్‌లు.. మాంసాహారంలో మేక కాళ్ల ముక్కల పులుసు(పాయ), బన్ను రొట్టెలు ఆనాటి టిఫిన్లు..
హైదరాబాద్‌లో ఇరానీచాయ్‌కు విపరీతమైన క్రేజ్‌ ఉంది. 1920లలో గౌలిగూడెంలోని శంకర్‌షేర్‌ అనే హోటల్‌లో మలాయ్‌దార్‌(మీగడతో కూడిన) చాయ్‌ ఆనాడు ఫేమస్‌.. మూడు పైసలకు చాయ్‌.. ఒక పైసకు లవంగం గుచ్చిన పాన్‌.. ఒక పైసకు నాలుగు చార్మినార్‌ సిగరెట్లు.. ఇవీ ఆనాటి హైదరాబాద్‌ ధరలు..
హైదరాబాద్‌ ప్రజలకు టీ ని అలవాటు చేసేందుకు టీ కంపెనీలు చాలా కష్టపడాల్సి వచ్చింది. నగరంలోని అనేక ప్రాంతాల్లో బహిరంగంగా స్టౌ వెలిగించి అందరిముందే టీని తయారు చేసేవారు. ఒకరు టీ వల్ల వచ్చే లాభాలను గురించి చెప్పేవారు.. మరొకరు తయారు చేసిన టీని ఉచితంగా అందరికీ పంచేవారు.. టీ గొప్పతనాన్ని గురించి ఇంకొకరు ప్రసంగించేవారు.. తరువాత ఇంటింటికీ తిరిగి టీని పంపిణీ చేసేవారు. మొత్తం మీద టీ ని జనానికి అలవాటు చేసి కానీ కంపెనీలు విడిచిపెట్టలేదు..
గండిపేట్‌కీ పానీ, మదీనాకీ బిర్యానీ హైదరాబాద్‌ ప్రత్యేకతలు.. గండిపేట నీటిలో తేటదనం ఎక్కువగా ఉంటుంది. మదీనా బిర్యానీలో నిర్వచనాలకే అందని రుచి ఉంటుంది.
1950 వదశకంలోనే హైదరాబాద్‌లో సినిమాలు వచ్చాయి. ఆనాడు ఆబిడ్‌‌సలో సాగర్‌ టాకీస్‌ ప్రసిద్ధమైంది. నాంపల్లిలో మోతీమహల్‌ టాకీసులో హిందీ సినిమాలు వచ్చేవి. 1956లో ఈ మోతీమహల్‌లో అగ్నిప్రమాదం జరిగింది. కొంతకాలం తరువాత దిల్‌షాద్‌ అని పేరు మార్చుకుని తిరిగి ప్రారంభమైంది.
1908 సెప్టెంబర్‌లో రెండు రోజుల్లో 19 అంగుళాల వర్షం కురిసింది. మూసీ నది కట్టలు తెంచుకుంది. 221 చెరువులు తెగిపోయాయి. నాలుగు వంతెనలు మునిగిపోయాయి. 15వేల మంది మరణించారు. 20 వేల ఇళు్ల నేలమట్టమయ్యాయి.
మూసీ వరదలకు దానిపై నిర్మించిన మూడు వంతెనలు చాదర్‌ఘాట్‌, పురానాపూల్‌, నయాపూల్‌లు పూర్తిగా మునిగిపోయాయి. చెన్నరాయని గుట్ట(నేటి చాంద్రాయణ గుట్ట) నుంచి షాలిబండ వరకు నగరం పూర్తిగా మునిగిపోయింది.
మూసీ వరదలు నిజాం సర్కారుకు నేర్పిన గుణపాఠాలు అనేకం ఉన్నాయి. ప్రసిద్ధ ఇంజనీరు మోక్షగుండం విశ్వేశ్వరయ్యను నగరానికి పిలిచి ఆయన సారథ్యంలో హిమాయత్‌సాగర్‌, ఉస్మాన్‌సాగర్‌(గండిపేట)లు నిర్మించారు. భూగర్భ డ్రైనేజీ వ్యవస్థను నెలకొల్పారు. మురికివాడల స్థానంలో పక్కా ఇళ్లను నిర్మించారు.. భారీ ప్రకృతి విపత్తుల నుంచి ప్రజల్ని కాపాడేందుకు ప్రభుత్వం ప్రదర్శించిన చిత్తశుద్ధికి ఇది నిదర్శనం.
1911లో హైదరాబాద్‌లో ప్లేగు రోగం విస్తరించింది. ప్లేగు గత్తరల వల్ల 15 వేల మంది మృత్యువాత పడ్డారు. చలికాలంలో హైదరాబాద్‌ రావాలంటేనే జనం భయపడేవారు.
1919లో ఇన్‌ఫ్లూయెంజా తీవ్రంగా వ్యాపించింది. భాగ్యనగరంలో రోజూ కనీసం 500 మంది మరణించేవారని నిజాం సర్కారు రికార్డులు చెప్తున్నాయి.
1936లో నిజాం నవాబు మీర్‌ ఉస్మాన్‌ అలీఖాన్‌ పరిపాలనా రజతోత్సవాలను నిర్వహించారు. జూబ్లీహాల్‌ అప్పడు కట్టిందే. జూబ్లీహిల్‌‌స, జూబ్లీ క్లబ్‌, జూబ్లీ బజార్‌ వంటివన్నీ అప్పుడు పెట్టిన పేర్లే.
మొఘల్‌ చక్రవర్తి ఔరంగజేబ్‌ గోలకొండపై దండెత్తి కుతుబ్‌షాహీల చివరి రాజు తానీషాను జయించాడు. అప్పుడు మొగలాయూ సైనికులు నిలిచిన చోటును ఫతే మైదాన్‌ అని పిలిచారు.. ఇదే ఇప్పుడు లాల్‌బహదూర్‌ స్టేడియంగా మారింది.
తానీషాను ఓడించిన తరువాత ఫతేమైదాన్‌ పక్కనే ఉన్న కొండపైన ఔరంగజేబ్‌ సైనికులు నగారా మోగించారు. అదే నౌబత్‌పహాడ్‌... ఇప్పుడు నగరం సిగలో మల్లెపూవులా వెలిగిపోతున్న బిర్లామందిర్‌ ఉన్న కొండ అదే.
హైదరాబాద్‌లో రెసిడెన్సీ ప్రాంతం బ్రిటిష్‌ పాలనలో ఉండేది. ఈ ప్రాంతంలో నిజాం చట్టాలు అమలు కాలేదు.. పోలీస్‌ చర్య తరువాత కోఠీలోని రెసిడెన్సీ భవనాన్ని పోలీసు కేంద్ర కార్యాలయానికి ఇవ్వాలని ఆనాటి సైనిక అధికారి జె.ఎన్‌.చౌదరి ప్రభుత్వాన్ని కోరారు.. కానీ, దాన్ని మహిళా కళాశాలకు ఇచ్చారు.. అదే ఇవాళ్టి కోఠీ మహిళా కళాశాల.
కోఠీలో మొదట రెసిడెన్సీరోడ్డుగా పిలిచిన ప్రాంతం ఆ తరువాత తుర్రేబాజ్‌ఖాన్‌ రోడ్డుగా మారింది. 1857లో తొలి స్వాతంత్య్ర సంగ్రామంలో తుర్రెబాజ్‌ఖాన్‌ బలమైన తిరుగుబాటుదారు.. అతని స్మృతి చిహ్నంగానే తుర్రెబాజ్‌ఖాన్‌ రోడ్డు ఏర్పడింది.
హైదరాబాద్‌సికిందరాబాద్‌ల మధ్య ప్రజల వ్యవహారంలో చాలా తేడాలు ఉండేవి. హైదరాబాద్‌ను పట్నం అని పిలిచేవారు.. సికిందరాబాద్‌ను లష్కర్‌ అని పిలిచేవారు. నాడు సికిందరాబాద్‌ ముందు బెజవాడ చిన్న పల్లెలా కనిపించేది.
హైదరాబాద్‌లో ఉర్దూ భాషకు ఎంత దర్జా ఉండేదో.. సికిందరాబాద్‌లో ఇంగ్లీషుకు ఆ స్థాయిలో గౌరవం ఉండేది. ఆ రోజుల్లో కందస్వామి మొదలియార్‌ అనే ఆయన సికిందరాబాద్‌లో బాగా పలుకుబడి ఉన్న వ్యక్తి. ఆయనే మెహబూబ్‌ కాలేజీని స్థాపించాడు.
హైదరాబాద్‌లో తీవ్ర నిర్బంధం ఉండటంతో, సికిందరాబాద్‌లో బతుకమ్మ పండుగను ఘనంగా చేసుకునే వారు. కర్బాలా మైదానంలో సద్దుల బతుకమ్మ జరిగేది.
సికిందరాబాద్‌లోని కింగ్‌‌సవే రహదారి, మారేడ్‌పల్లి ప్రాంతాలను బ్రిటిష్‌వారు తమ అధీనంలో ఉంచుకున్నారు.. తామే అభివృద్ధి చేసారు.
హైదరాబాద్‌కు భాగ్యలక్ష్మి అధిష్ఠాన దేవత.. సికిందరాబాద్‌కు ఉజ్జయిన మహంకాళి అధిష్ఠాన దేవత. అమ్మవారికి ఆషాఢమాసంలో సమర్పించుకునే బోనాలు హైదరాబాదీలకు అతి పెద్ద పండుగ.
సికిందరాబాద్‌లోని ఆనందభవన్‌, ఆబిడ్‌‌సలోని తాజ్‌మహల్‌ హోటళు్ల చాలా పాత హోటళు్ల.. అవి హోటళు్ల కావు.. మిత్రులు కలిసే ప్రదేశాలు.

ద్రౌపది అగ్ని సంభవ

యార్లగడ్డ లక్ష్మీ ప్రసాద్‌ రచించిన ద్రౌపది నవలకు సాహిత్య అకాడమీ పురస్కారం లభించిన వార్త తెలుగు సాహిత్య లోకంలో అపూర్వమైన కల్లోలాన్ని రేపింది. పురాణ ఇతీహాసాల్లోంచి పాత్రలను తీసుకుని మానవతా దృక్పథంతో ఆధునిక జీవన చైతన్యంతో చిత్రించటం ఈనాడు జరుగుతున్నదే. కెఎం మున్షీ కృష్ణావతారం సంపుటాలు మహాభారతానికి ఆధునిక కథారూప కల్పన. దీంతో ఎవరికీ పేచీ లేదు. ఇట్లా అనేక భారతీయ భాషల్లో ప్రాచీన గాథల్ని మళ్లీ కొత్తగా చెప్పటం మనకు కనిపిస్తుంది. రసోచితంగా పూర్వ ఇతివృత్తాన్ని మార్చ వచ్చని ఆలంకారికులు చెప్పారు.. కాళిదాసు శాకుంతలంలో మహాభారతంలో లేని కల్పనలు చేశాడు. ఈ మార్పులని భారత జాతీయ జనుల మౌళిక విశ్వాసాలకు అనుగుణంగా ఉన్నవే. మౌలిక విశ్వాసాలకు భంగం కలిగించే మార్పులు ఏ సమాజమూ హర్షించదు. ఆ మార్పులు ఆ పాత్రల స్థాయిని అత్యంతమూ, అధోభూమికలోకి లాగినప్పుడు ప్రజల హృదయాలు గాయపడి సంక్షోభం చెలరేగుతుంది. లక్ష్మీ ప్రసాద్‌ నవల వల్ల ఇవాళ జరుగుతున్న అల్లకల్లోలం అలాంటిదే.

ద్రౌపది పాత్ర ప్రధానంగా నిర్మింపబడ్డ ఈ నవల పురాగాధకు కొత్తరూపమే. అయితే, మహాభారత రచనలోని పాత్రల మూల స్వభావాలకు, లక్ష్యాలకు ఈ రచన భిన్నంగా, విరుద్ధంగా పాత్రల నిర్మాణం చేసింది. ద్రౌపది అగ్ని సంభవ. అయోనిజ. ఈ రెండు లక్షణాలు ఆమెలోని ఈశ్వరాభిముఖంలో ఉన్న చైతన్యానికి ప్రతీకలు. అగ్ని జ్వాల ఎప్పుడూ ఊర్థ్వ ముఖంగానే ఉంటుంది. కామ భావం ఎప్పుడూ అథోముఖంగా ఉంటుంది. ద్రౌపది పుట్టుక వెనుక, ఒక మహావీరుడి గాయపడ్డ అభిమానం తపోరూపంలో వరంగా ఆమెను పొందిన అంశం వ్యక్తమవుతుంది. ఈ పుట్టుక నాటి నుంచి మత్స్య యంత్ర భేదన వేళలోనూ, వసా్తప్రహరణ వేళలోనూ, ఆమె ధీర యువతిలాగా ఎవరై్ననా, ఎంత పెద్దలైనా ప్రశ్నించగలదిగా కనిపిస్తుంది. ఆ క్రమంలో కామ చేష్ట ద్వారా పిలిచినందుకే దుర్యోధనుణికి ఊరు భంగం కలిగించింది. జుట్టు పట్టి లాగినందుకు దుశ్శాసనుణ్ణి రొము్మ చీలేట్లు చేసింది. కామంతో తన వెంటపట్ట సైంధవుణ్ణి అవమానింపజేసింది. కీచకుణ్ణి మట్టి కరిపించింది. భారత యుద్ధ సందర్భంలోనూ ఆమె సందేశం ప్రతీకారమే. తిక్కన `ఈ వెండ్రుకలు పట్టిన ఆ చేయి' మొదలైన పద్యాలు ఆమె తత్తా్వన్ని ప్రకటింప చేస్తాయి. శ్రీకృష్ణుని ఆమె భగవద్భావంతో ఆరాధించింది కానీ, రాధ వలెనో, గోపిక వలెనో మధుర భక్తి మార్గంలో ప్రయాణించలేదు. అందువల్ల ద్రౌపదిశ్రీకృష్ణ సంబంధాన్ని జయదేవుని గీతగోవిందంతో పోల్చి చూడమనటం హేతు విరుద్ధమైన అంశం. ద్రౌపది ఉజ్జ్వలమైన పాత్ర చిత్రణం భట్టనారాయణుని వేణీ సంహారంలో కనిపిస్తుంది. ఈ భూమిక మీద ఆలోచిస్తే, లక్ష్మీ ప్రసాద్‌ నవలలోని ద్రౌపది పాత్ర చిత్రణ, సన్నివేశాల వివరణ అంతా, ఆమె యందున్న పూజ్యమైన మాతృభావనను దెబ్బ కొట్టాలనే ప్రయత్నం కనిపిస్తుంది. నెల్లూరు ప్రాంతంలో ద్రౌపది తిరునాళు్ల అనే పేర ఇప్పటికీ ఆమెను ఆదిశక్తిగా ఆరాధించే జానపద సంప్రదాయం ఉంది.
ఈ నవలలో ద్రౌపదిని కామాతురగా చిత్రించటం పెద్ద దోషం.. పంచ భర్తృక అనే భావం ఒక ప్రతీకాత్మకమైందే తప్ప, కామ భావానికి సంబంధించింది కాదు.. కుంతి సంతానమందు ఆరాధించిన ఇంద్ర, యమ, వాయు, అశ్వినీ దేవతల అంశలు, శక్తులు ఆవరించి ఉన్నవనే తప్ప, మానుషమైన శృంగారం ప్రధానాంశం కాదు.. ఎక్కడైనా హిమాచల ప్రాంతంలో ప్రాచీన కాలంలో బహు భర్తృత్వం అనే ఆచారం ఉన్నదని పేర్కొన్నా, ఆ సమాజం ఆనాడు విధించుకున్న ధర్మమే తప్ప, కామ అతిచారం కాదు. అలా వ్యాఖ్యానిస్తే, ఆ గిరిజన సంస్కృతిని మనం అవమానించినట్లే. ద్రౌపదీ దేవి సౌందర్యం లోకోత్తరమైందనీ, ధృతరాష్రు్టని కోడళు్ల ఆ సౌందర్యానికి ముగ్ధలైనారని వ్యాసుడు చెప్పటం, ఆమె శరీరంలో అంతర్గతంగా లీనమై ఉన్న అగ్ని హోతృని ప్రకాశమే తప్ప, సర్వ పురుషాకర్షకమైన తక్కువ స్థాయి అందం కాదు. ఈ నవలలో చిత్రించిన ద్రౌపది కామాతుర. ఆమె యందు భర్తలు కామోల్బణం కలవారే. భీష్మ ద్రోణాదులు కూడా ఆమె శారీరక సౌందర్యం యెడల లాలస ఉన్న వాళు్లగా చెప్పబడ్డారు.. అన్నింటికంటే ఆశ్చర్యం సాక్షాత్తూ భగవంతుడైన శ్రీకృష్ణుడు కూడా ఆమె యందు కామలోలకుడైనట్లుగా వర్ణించటం. ఈ అంశాలన్నీ వ్యాసుని భారత తాత్పర్యానికి, కావ్య పరమార్థానికి విరుద్ధమైన అంశాలు.. అతిలోకమైన ఆ వ్యక్తిత్వాన్ని తలక్రిందులుగా చేసి చిత్రించటం. ఈ పని ఏదో అప్రసిద్ధమైన రచన విషయంలో జరగలేదు. భారతీయులు అయిదు వేల సంవత్సరాలుగా ఆరాధించే మహాభారత విషయంలో జరగటం అత్యంత శోచనీయమైంది. ఖండించదగింది.

సాహిత్య అకాడమీ అవార్డుల్లో నూ అన్యాయమేనా?...

ఇప్పుడు ఒక సాహిత్య అకాడమీ అవార్డు విషయం చర్చల్లోకి వస్తూ ఉండటం వల్ల తెలంగాణ విషయంలో సాహిత్య అకాడమీ తెలుగు సలహా సంఘ సభ్యులు, అకాడమీ యాజమాన్యం చేసిన అన్యాయం గుర్తుకు తెచ్చుకోవలసిన అవసరం ఉంది. 1953 నుంచి సాహిత్య అకాడమీ అవార్డులు కొన్ని సంవత్సరాలు మినహాయించినా, ఇప్పటికి 50దాకా ఇచ్చి ఉంటారు. తెలంగాణాలో ఆధునిక సాహిత్య చైతన్యం ప్రజ్వలంతంగా ఉన్నది ఈ కాలం. ఉద్గమించిన నిత్య చైతన్యంతో, ఉద్యమాల నేపథ్యంతో పునరుజ్జీవన జాగృతితో తెలంగాణాలో సాహిత్యం క్రియాశీలంగా లేదని, ఉత్తమ రచనలు రాలేదని ఎవరూ చెప్పలేరు.

ఆ లెక్కన కనీసం పాతిక అవార్డులైనా తెలంగాణా మట్టిలో పుట్టి పెరిగిన రచయితలకు వచ్చి ఉండవలసింది. కానీ నిజానికి ఈ భూమి పుత్రులకు దక్కినవి సింగిల్‌ డిజిట్‌ కూడా దాటలేదు. సురవరం ప్రతాపరెడ్డి, నారాయణరెడ్డి, దాశరథి, గోపి, నవీన్‌, గడియారం రామకృష్ణ శర్మలకు అవార్డులు వచ్చిన విషయమే గుర్తుకు వస్తుంది. ఇంత కనిష్టంగా పురస్కారాలు లభించటానికి కారణం ఏమిటో ఎవరూ చెప్పలేరు.. ఈ నేలలో వానమామలై వరదాచార్యులకు, దాశరథి రంగాచార్యకు, సదాశివకు, కాళోజీకి, దోర్బల విశ్వనాథశర్మకు, కపిలవాయి లింగమూర్తికి, వట్టికోట ఆళ్వార్‌ స్వామికి, బూర్గుల రామకృష్ణారావుకు, కసిరెడ్డి వెంకటరెడ్డికి, ముదిగంటి సుజాతారెడ్డికి, యశోదారెడ్డికి, మాదిరాజు రంగారావు, సంపత్కుమార, సుప్రసన్నలకు, బి.రామరాజుకు, వరవరరావు, రామాచంద్రమౌళి ఇత్యాదులకు అకాడమీ పురస్కారాలకు అర్హత లేదని అనుకోవటం జరుగుతున్నదా? లేదా.. ఈ రచయితలు తమను గూర్చి ప్రచారం చేసుకోలేకపోవటం, గుంపులు కట్టలేకపోవటం, పైరవీలు చేయలేకపోవటం, కారణమా?
కేంద్ర సాహిత్య అకాడమీ తొలి అవార్డుల సందర్భంలో నిర్ణాయక స్థానంలో ఉన్న శ్రీ పింగళి లక్ష్మీకాంతం గారు ఆ ప్రాంతంలోని సృజనాత్మక రచయితలు ఎవరూ నచ్చక తొలి అవార్డుకి ప్రతిపాదనలను పంపే క్రమంలో తెలంగాణ దాకా వచ్చిన అంశం దేవులపల్లి రామానుజరావు గారు ఎన్నోసార్లు ప్రస్తావించారు.. తరువాత ఆయన తన కాలంలో వచ్చిన అవార్డులు రాధాకృష్ణన్‌ భారతీయ తత్త్వ శాస్త్రం అనువాదానికి , రామకృష్ణ పరమహంస జీవిత చరిత్రకు, నాట్యశాస్త్రం అనువాదం వంటి వివరణ గ్రంథానికి ఇప్పించారు.. ఈ క్రమంలో సృజనాత్మక రచన అనదగినది బాలాంత్రపు రజనీకాంతరావు శతపత్ర సుందరి మాత్రమే. ఎవరికీ ఆ గ్రంథం ఇవాళ గుర్తుకు లేదు. తెలుగు సాహిత్య ప్రపంచంలో శిఖరప్రాయులైన మహాకవులు, రచయితలు అవార్డుకు ఆయన కాలంలో నోచుకోలేదు. ఇది బహిరంగ రహస్యమే.
తరువాత కాలంలో బెజవాడ గోపాలరెడ్డి గారు చక్కని అభిరుచి ఉన్నవారు కావటం వల్ల సృజనాత్మక రచయితలకు ఏదో విధంగా పురస్కారాలు వచ్చేందుకు ప్రయత్నించారు.. తరువాతి కాలంలో మళ్లీ వ్యక్తుల పలుకుబడులు, ఇష్టానిష్టాలు, అభిరుచులు, రాగద్వేషాలు రాజ్యమేలుతూ ఉన్నాయి. దీన్ని ఇప్పటికైనా మనం సరిదిద్దుకోలేమా? తెలంగాణ సాహిత్యానికి సరైన గౌరవాన్ని సాధించుకోలేమా?

కావూరి మీడియా

ప్రాంతాల మధ్య చిచ్చు పెడుతున్నది మీడియానే అంటూ దశాబ్దాతరబడి రాజకీయ అనుభవం ఉన్న కావూరి వంటి సీనియర్లే అసహనంతో వ్యాఖ్యానించారు.. కానీ, ప్రాంతాల మధ్య ఇవాళ ఇంత తీవ్రంగా విభేదాలకు నిజంగా కారకులెవరు? తమ ప్రయోజనాల కోసం వ్యవస్థను అడ్డగోలుగా వాడుకొని ప్రజల్ని తప్పుదారి పట్టిస్తున్న రాజకీయ నాయకత్వం కాదా?

వెయ్యి తుపాకుల కంటే.. ఒక కలానికి నేను భయపడతానని నెపోలియన్‌ అన్నాడట.. కానీ, ఇవాళ రాజకీయ నాయకులకు మీడియా ఆటపట్టుగా మారిపోయింది.. నైతికంగా మీడియా వేర్వేరు దారుల్లో ప్రయాణం చేస్తుండవచ్చు. తమదైన శైలిలో విశ్లేషణలు చేస్తుండవచ్చు. కానీ, వార్తలను వార్తలుగా చూపించటంలో ఎవరూ వెనక్కి వెళ్లటం లేదు.. లెక్కకు మిక్కిలి చానళ్లు సమాచార మాధ్యమంలోకి ప్రవేశించటం, వాటి మధ్య పోటీ తత్వం పెరగటం ప్రతి వార్తను హైలైట్‌ చేయటం ద్వారా ప్రజల చేరువలోకి వెళ్లే ప్రయత్నం ప్రతి చానల్‌ చేస్తుంది. ఇందుకోసం తమకు ముందుగా అందిన సమాచారాన్ని అంతకంటే వేగంగా అందించటం కోసం కృషి చేస్తుంది.. ఈ దారిలో కొండకచో కొంత పొరపాటు దొర్లితే దొర్లవచ్చు.. అంతమాత్రాన అది వాటి బలహీనతగా రాజకీయ వ్యవస్థ భావించటమే దురదృష్టం. సుమారు నెలన్నర రోజులుగా రాష్ట్రంలో జరుగుతున్న తెలంగాణ, జైఆంధ్ర, సమైక్యాంధ్ర ఉద్యమాల నేపథ్యంలో తెలుగుమీడియా అలసట ఎరుగని ప్రసారాలు చేసింది.ఎక్కడ ఏం జరిగినా వాటిని విశ్లేషణాత్మకంగా తనదైన రీతిలో ప్రజలకు అందించింది. నాయకులు పోటీలు పడి ఒకరిపై ఒకరు.. ఒక ప్రాంతంపై మరొకరు దుమ్మెత్తి పోసుకున్నా వాటినన్నింటినీ ప్రజల ముందుంచింది.. కానీ, నేతలకు ఇవేవీ పట్టలేదు.. తమ ప్రకటనల వల్ల తాము ఇరుకున పడగానే మీడియాపై రెచ్చిపోవటం ఒక తంతుగా మారింది. ప్రింట్‌ మీడియా ఉధ్ధృతంగా ఉన్న సమయంలో నేతలు ఎలా మాట్లాడినా చెల్లుబాటు అయ్యేది.. తరువాత తాను అలా అనలేదని బుకాయించినా ఆధారం ఉండేది కాదు.. కానీ, ఇప్పుడు ఎలక్ట్రానిక్‌ మీడియాలో నేతలు ఏం మాట్లాడినా రికార్డు అవుతుంది. ఆ విషయం మన నాయకులకు తెలియందేమీ కాదు.. కానీ, అయినా బుకాయించటం వారికే చెల్లుబాటు అయింది. తెలంగాణకు ఉపముఖ్యమంత్రి పదవి కట్టబెడితే ఉద్యమం ఉండేది కాదంటూ కావూరి తాజా ప్రకటన ఇందుకు ఉదాహరణ..ఒక బాధ్యత గల ఎంపి, మొన్నటి అఖిలపక్ష సమావేశంలో కాంగ్రెస్‌కు ప్రతినిథిత్వం నెరపిన ఈ నాయకుడు విలేఖరుల సమావేశంలోనే ఈ మాటలు మాట్లాడారు.. చానళ్లు తీరా ప్రసారం చేసిన తరువాత వ్యక్తమైన నిరసనలకు కావూరికి ఇబ్బంది కలిగించాయి....ముందుగా తానలా అనలేదని అన్నారు.. తరువాత తన వ్యాఖ్యలకు వక్రభాష్యం చెప్పారన్నారు.. తప్పు తనది కాదని, మీడియాదేనని చిందులు వేశారు..ఇక మీడియాతో మాట్లాడనన్నారు.. ఎలక్ట్రానిక్‌ మీడియా లేని కాలంలో అయితే ఆయన ఏం ఖండించినా చెల్లేదేమో... ఇప్పుడు రికార్డెడ్‌ కామెంట్‌ ఉన్న తరువాత కూడా తాను మీడియాతో మాట్లాడనని అలిగితే ఏం చెప్పాలి? ఒక ప్రాంతపు ప్రజలను రెచ్చగొట్టే వ్యాఖ్యలు చేసేది ఇలాంటి వ్యాఖ్యానాలే.. ఒకరి మనోభావాలను దెబ్బ తీసే విధంగా వ్యాఖ్యానాలు చేసి.. అవి మీడియాలో వచ్చిన తరువాత అదిగో మీ వల్లనే ప్రాంతాల మధ్య చిచ్చు రేగుతోందని మాట్లాడటం ఆక్షేపణీయం...వార్తల్ని సృష్టించేది ప్రధానంగా రాజకీయ వ్యవస్థ. మీడియా ఆ వార్తల్ని ప్రసారం చేస్తుంది.. వార్తలు నిప్పుకణికలు.. నిప్పులాంటి వార్తలు నిలువునా కాల్చేస్తాయి.. మరి చేతులు కాలాక ఆకులు పట్టుకుంటే ఏం ప్రయోజనం...?

ఆయన ఓ మోనార్క్

ఎస్.ఎస్.పి. యాదవ్... ఈ పేరే వివాదానికి పర్యాయ పదం. డిజిపిగా ఉన్నా, ఆర్టీసీ ఎండీగా ఉన్నా ఆయన రూటే సపరేట్.. తాను ఏ పదవిలో ఉన్నారో దానితో ఆయనకు సంబంధం లేదు.. తాను ఎవరికీ జవాబుదారి కాదు.. చివరకు ముఖ్యమంత్రి కూడా ఆయన కంటికి కనిపించరు.. ఆయన ఒక్కసారి చెబితే వందసార్లుచెప్పినట్లే. ఆయన నిర్ణయానికి ప్రభుత్వం కూడా ఇరుకునపడాల్సిందే. ఎక్కడ ఉన్నా, ఏం చేసినా ఆయన ఓ మోనార్క్.

వివాదాల కేరాఫ్ అడ్రస్ ఎస్ఎస్పి యాదవ్ తన స్టైల్ మార్చుకోలేదని మరోసారి రుజువు చేసుకున్నారు..
డిజిపిగా ఉన్నంతకాలం తనకు తాను నియంతగా వ్యవహరించారు.
నాడు రాష్ట్ర హోం మంత్రిని నిర్లక్ష్యం చేసినా, ఇవాళ ఏకంగా సిఎంను మనిషే కాదన్నా ఆయనకే చెల్లింది.
ఎన్నికల ప్రధానాధికారితో లేఖల యుద్ధం చేసినా.. పోయిన పదవిని తిరిగి తెచ్చుకోగలిగినా యాదవ్ తీరే వేరు..
ఇవాళ ప్రభుత్వానికి కనీస సమాచారం ఇవ్వకుండా, సంబంధిత శాఖ మంత్రికైనా తెలియకుండా ఆర్టీసీ చార్జీలను అడ్డగోలుగా పెంచటంతో మరోసారి వివాదస్పదమయ్యారు ఆర్టీసి ఎండీ ఎస్.ఎస్.పి యాదవ్. ఈ మాజీ డిజిపి గతంలో ఆనేక సార్లు వివాదాల సుడిగండంలో తిరిగారు. ఇంకా ఆర్నెల్లలో సర్వీసు ముగుస్తుందనగా ఆర్టీసి ఎండిగా పగ్గాలు చేపట్టిన యాదవ్ తాజాగా ఆర్టీసి చార్జీల మోత మోగించి తానింకా సర్వీసులోనే ఉన్నాననే విషయం అందరికీ గుర్తుచేశారు. ఆర్టీసి నష్టాలబాట పట్డడంతో సంస్థకు ఛార్జీలు పెంచక తప్పేట్టు లేదని యాజమాన్యం నిర్ణయించింది. అందుకు అనుగుణంగా కొన్ని ప్రతిపాదనలు చేశారు. ఇవన్నీ పట్టుకుని ప్రభుత్వం వద్దకు వెళ్లాలని నిర్ణయించారు. అయితే ఎం.డీ యాదవ్ మాత్రం ఇందుకు విరుద్ధంగా వ్యవహరించారు. ప్రభుత్వాన్ని అడగాల్సిన అవసరం ఎంతమాత్రం లేదంటూ, సొంతంగా నిర్ణయం తీసుకునే అధికారం సంస్థకు ఉందంటూ యాదవ్ ఛార్జీలపెంపుకు గ్రీన్ సిగ్నల్ ఇచ్చారు.
అంతకు ముందు సిఎం వద్దకు ఈ ప్రస్తావన వచ్చినప్పటికీ ప్రతిపాదనలు పంపించాలని కోరినట్లు సమాచారం. అయితే యాదవ్ తన దైన స్టైల్లో ఛార్జీలు పెంచేసారు.. సిఎంకు, సర్కారుకు చిక్కకుండా ఎంచక్కా ఆగ్రా హాలిడే ట్రిప్ కు వెళ్లిపోయారు. అయితే ఆయన తిరిగొచ్చేలోపే మరికొన్ని పరిణామాలు చోటుచేసుకునే అవకాశం ఉంది.
ఆర్టీసీ ఛార్జీలు పెంచుకునే అవకాశం కార్పోరేషన్ కు ఉన్నప్పటికీ ఆనవాయితీ ప్రకారం ప్రభుత్వం అనుమతి కోరాలి. కానీ యాదవ్ గారి జమానా కాబట్టి ఆలా జరగలేదు. కనీసం రవాణాశాఖామంత్రి శత్రుచర్ల విజయరామరాజుకు కూడా తెలియకుండా ఛార్జీలు మమోత మెగిందంటే కార్పోరేషన్ వ్యవహరించిన తీరు ఏవిధంగా ఉందో తెలుసుకోవచ్చు. పాపం మంత్రి గారు తీరిగ్గా తన గోడును సిఎం విన్నవించుకున్నారు. ఒక వేళ యాదవ్ ఏకపక్ష నిర్ణయమైతే ఆయనపై చర్యలు తీసుకునేందుకు వెనకాడబోమని ఆయన అంటున్నారు.
అయితే వస్తున్న నష్టాన్ని ప్రభుత్వం భరించనని తేగేసి చెప్పడంతో ఛార్జీలు పెంచక తప్పలేదని యాజమాన్యం అనవచ్చు.. కానీ ప్రభుత్వ ప్రమేయం ఎంతమాత్రం తెలియకుండా, ముఖ్యమంత్రిని అడక్కుండా నిర్ణయం తీసుకోవటం రోశయ్య అధిపత్యాన్ని నేరుగా ప్రశ్నించినట్లయింది. ఇప్పటికే రోశయ్య పరిపాలనపై రకరకాలుగా పెదవి విరుపులు మొదలయ్యాయి. ఈ సమయంలో యాదవ్ తీసుకున్న ఈ నిర్ణయం సిఎంను ఒక విధంగా అవమానించినట్లే... రాజకీయ కోణంలో చూసినా యాదవ్ కరడు గట్టిన వైఎస్ అభిమాని.. ఇప్పుడు కూడా ఆయన ఇలాగే ప్రవర్తిస్తున్నారా? జగన్ వర్గానికి అనుకూలంగా సర్కారును ఇరుకున పెడుతున్నారా?

ముఖ్యమంత్రి పాత్రేమిటి?


రాష్ట్రంలో రాజకీయ పరిస్థితులు అగమ్య గోచరంగా తయారయ్యాయి. నెలరోజుల్లో రెండు ప్రాంతాలుగా రాష్ట్రం చీలిపోయింది. ఇరువైపులా ఉద్యమాలు ఉవ్వెత్తును ఎగిసిపడుతుండటంతో, రాష్ట్రంలో పరిపాలన పూర్తిగా స్తంభించిపోయింది. ఈ సమస్యపై కేంద్రం ఏదో విధంగా అడపాదడపా స్పందిస్తూనే ఉంది. మరి రాష్ట్రానికి పరిపాలకుడైన ముఖ్యమంత్రి మాత్రం నిమిత్తమాత్రుడిగా మారిపోయారు.. ఈ మొత్తం ఎపిసోడ్‌లో తన పాత్రేమిే తనకే తెలియనంత అయోమయంలో పడిపోయారు..
శాంతి లేదు..భద్రతా లేదు..
ఉద్యమాలు.. ఆందోళనలు..
బందులూ రాస్తారోకోలు..
సమస్య ఒకటి.. పరిష్కారం ఏది?
ముఖ్యమంత్రి భూమిక ఏమిటి?

SIX - POINT FORMULA
Statement issued by the leaders of Andhra Pradesh
on 21st September, 1973.
We have had several discussions with Central leaders as well as amongst
ourselves on the problems facing the people of Andhra Pradesh. We are
satisfied that the present misgivings about the future of the State can be
completely removed on actin being taken in accordance with the following
principles :—
(1) Accelerated development of the backward areas of the State and
planned development of the State capital with specific resources
earmarked for these purposes and appropriate association of
representations of such backward areas in the State legislature
along with other experts in the formulation and monitoring of
development schemes for such areas should form the essential
part of the developmental strategy of the State. Constitution at
the State level of a Planning Board as well-as Sub-Committees
for different backward areas should be the appropriate instrument
for achieving this objective.
(2) Institution of uniform, arrangements throughout the State enabling
adequate preference being given to local candidates in the matter
of admission to educational institutions and establishment of a
new Central University at Hyderabad to argument the exiting
educational facilities should be the basis of the educational policy
of the State.
(3) Subject to the requirements of the State as a whole, local
candidates should be given preference to specified extent in the
matter of direct recruitment to (i) non-gazetted posts (other than
in the Secretariat. Offices of Heads of Department, other State
level offices and institutions and the Hyderabad City Police) (ii)
corresponding posts under the local bodies and (iii) the posts
of Tahsildars, Junior Engineers and Civil Assistant Surgeons.
In order to improve their promotion prospects, service cadres
should be organised to the extent possible on appropriate local
basis up to specified gazetted level, first or second, as may be
administratively convenient.

J-698/2

(4) A high power administrative tribunal should be constituted to
deal with the grievances of services regarding appointments,
seniority, promotion and other allied matters. The decisions of the
Tribunal should ordinarily be binding on the State Government.
The constitution of such a tribunal would justify limits on recourse
to judiciary in such matters.
(5) In order that implementation of measures based on the above
principles does not give rise to litigation and consequent
uncertainity, the Constitution should be suitably amended to the
extent necessary conferring on the President enabling powers in
this behalf.
(6) The above approach would render the continuance of Mulki Rules
and Regional Committee unnecessary.
2. We are convinced that the accelerated development of the
backward areas and planned development of the State capital are the major
factors which will help in successfully implementing the above principles,
We would, therefore, urge upon the Central Government to take a generous
view in the matter of financial assistance to the State for the development
of these areas.

CLARIFICATIONS
ON
SIX-PINT FORMULA
Statement issued by Andhra Pradesh
Leaders on 22nd October, 1973.
We discussed amongst ourselves and the Central leaders the various
aspects and implications of the six-point formula which has received
overwhelming support from all shades of public opinion in Andhra Pradesh
and else where in the country. The formula was intended to indicate the
basic approach to promote the accelerated development of backward
areas, a balanced development of the State as a whole and to provide
equitable opportunities to different areas of State in the matter of education,
employment and career prospects in public services, with a view achieve
a fuller emotional integration of the people of Andhra Pradesh. It will be
for the Government of Andhra Pradesh and the Government of India to
formulate specific, comprehensive and practicable schemes in the light of
the approach set out in the six-point formula. We, however, appreciate that
it would be advantageous to elaborate the more basic aspects of the formula
to promote a better understanding of its approach.
2. The formula lays stress on accelerated development of backward
areas. We discussed the question whether it would be possible to specify
straightaway what the backward areas in the State are Backward areas will
require to be identified in the light of objective factors and in consultation
with Planning Commission. This task will have to be left to the popular
Government to be completed with atmost expedition.
3. Schemes for development of all such areas, will have to be drawn
up and resources required for implementing such schemes should be
earmarked, not only out of the general resources of the State Plan but also
out of the special assistance from the Centre. In the process of preparing
suitable schemes as well as earmarking resources, the State Planning Board
should necessarily have an important role. The role of the State Board
in overall co-ordination between the general Plan Scheme and special
programmes for accelerated development of backward areas will also have
to be emphasised. It will, therefore, have to be an effective organisation
consisting of the Chief Minister, some of his colleagues, expert people’s
representatives and others.

4
4. The Committees for the different backward areas should be agencies
to assist the Planning Board in the formulation of development schemes
for such areas, particularly in regard to matters where knowledge of local
conditions is of importance and subsequent monitoring of the implementation
of such schemes. These Committees should hence have a substantial number
of the representatives of the people familiar with local conditions and
problems. The composition of these Committees should, however, be such
as to make them business like, compact and knowledgeable,. In order that
these Committees enjoy the full support and backing of Government it may
be considered if the Chief Minister himself could be their Chairman.
5. Programme in the State Plan to develop the infrastructure of the State
will benefit the capital city. Other schemes intended specifically for urban
development, housing, water supply, expansion of educational and medical
facilities etc., also from part of the State Plan. The formula contemplates
that special assistance from the Centre to supplement these programmes
would also be available. As the formula emphasised the importance of the
planned development of the capital city, Government may also consider the
constitution of a suitable Capital Development Authority.
6. Taking into account the broad scope and functions of the Planning
Board and its role in co-ordination, it may be advantageous to designate it as
Andhra Pradesh Planning and Development Board and its Sub-Committees
as Planning and Development Committees for the respective areas. Other
details regarding composition for functions, procedures and role of the
Committees will have to be left to the Government.
7. In regard to the services the basic approach of the formula is that
the people of different areas should have equitable employment and career
prospects. The concepts of local candidates and local areas are interrelated
because local candidates will be identified with reference to a local area.
In specifying any local areas it should not be necessary to go below the
level of a district. For recruitment to Class IV posts and posts of L.D.C.
and equivalent in district officer, the district will then be the local area.
For other categories of posts it would be desirable to group contiguous
districts into divisions. We, however, visualise that the State as a whole
may consist of five or six divisions, the twin cities including the cantonment
being constituted into a separate division.
8. A local candidate can be a person residing in the concerned local
area or who has studied in an institution situated in that area leading

5
to the educational qualifications prescribed for the post or a pass in the
Matriculation / equivalent examination whichever is lower. In cases where
no educational qualifications are at all required, residence can be the only
test. In other cases, it may be advantageous to adopt the criterion of study
in a local institution. Where necessary either of the criteria could also be
adopted ensuring however that a candidate is not regarded as belonging
to more than one local area. To obviate hardship, suitable exemptions will
require to be formulated. The minimum period of residence of study in a
local institution should be reasonable, neither being illusory nor excessive.
In the course or our deliberations we found that it should not be difficult to
specify such a reasonable, minimum after explaining to the people of the
State the different aspects of the problem.
9. The extent of preference for local candidates should in no case be
100%. In case of Class IV posts it can be 80 %. For all other non-gazetted
posts the extent of preference should be 70 % and for gazetted posts it
should be 60%. It will, however, have to be borne in mind that substantial
employment potential may develop in different local areas on account of
major development projects. These will have to be equitably shared between
different areas in the State and special arrangements for this purpose may
be necessary. Suitable remedial measures will have to be devised in cases
where the institution of revised administrative arrangements affect the
employment of the candidates from the twin cities.
10. In regard to the agency for recruitment, posts entrusted to the State
Public Service Commission may continue with the Commission. It will no
doubt require separate consideration whether any special measures are
called for in regard to the scope, strength, status and efficient functioning of
the Commission to enable the Commission to discharge its responsibilities.
Where any category of posts is excluded from the purview of the Commission
it may be advantageous initially to constitute district / divisional committees
to make recruitment for such posts.
11. We are satisfied that the six-point formula provide all the necessary
policy directives for comprehensive detailed schemes to be drawn up and
implemented in due course. The association of the Central Government in
the implementation of the six-point formula will make available to the State
Government the necessary expertise and national guidance. As soon as a
popular Government is restored in Andhra Pradesh the stage would be set
for the State and the Centre to take upon themselves without any delay the
implementation of the formula.

OF LOCAL CADRES—INSTRUCTIONS—ISSUED.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION (SPF.A) DEPARTMENT
G.O.P.No. 728, Dated 1st November, 1975.
Read the following :–
(1) G.O.Ms.No. 674, General Administration (SPF-A) Department,
dated 20th October, 1975.
(2) G.O.Ms.No. 675, General Administration (SPF-A) Department,
dated 20th October, 1975.
ORDER :
1. The President of India has in exercise of the powers conferred
by clauses (1) and (2) of Article 371-D of the constitution of India, made
the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadre
and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975, Providing among
other things, for the Organisation of Local Cadres in respect of posts
under the Government of Andhra Pradesh and for the allotment of
persons holding such posts to the local cadres to be so organis􀀀􄜀􄘀􁀀
2. Extent and commencement :— The said Order has come into force on
the eighteenth day of October, 1975 and applies to the whole of the State
of Andhra Pradesh.
3. Organisation of Local Cadres.— Paragraph 3 (1) of the Order lays
down that the State Govenment shall, within a period of twelve months
form the commencement of the Order, organise classes of posts in the
civil services of and classes of civil posts under, the State into difference
local cadres for different parts of the State to the extent and in the manner
specified in that paragraph. A local cadre is a cadre comprising the posts
belonging to a category in a Department and located within a specified part
of the State. The concept of the local cadre is thus related to the concept
of the unit of appointment under the service rules; the part of the State for
which local cadre is organised in respect of any category will serve as a unit
of appointment etc., for that category. The scheme of organisation of local
cadres under the Presidential Order applies generally to all non-gazetted
categories, other than those specifically exempted under Government of
India Notification G.S.R. No. 529, (E), dated 18th October, 1975 issued
under paragraph 3 (8) of the Order, as also to the specified gazetted
categories, I.e., the gazetted categories listed in the Third Schedule to the
Order and those that may be notified in pursuance of paragraph 2 (i)(j) of

43
the Order by the Central Government.
4. Category of posts and manner of organising Local Cadres.— The
categories of posts covered by the scheme are required to be organised into
different local cadres for different parts of the State as foll􀀀􅄀􅤀􅔀􀈀􁰀
(A) Lower Division Clerks and Posts belonging to each such
other categories of posts category in each department in
equivalent to or lower than each district shall be organised
that of a Lower Division into a separate local cadre which
Clerk. may be briefly referred to as a
district cadre.
(B) Non-gazetted categories Posts belonging to each such
other than those referred to category in each zone shall be
against item (A). organised into a separate local
cadre which may be briefly
reffered to as a zonal cadre.
(C) Specified-gazetted categories. The Posts belonging to each such
category in each department in
each zone shall be organised into
a separate local cadre (zonal cadre).
For the above purpose, a post shall be deemed to be equivalent to or
lower than that of Lower Division Clerk if the scale of pay of the post or
where the post carries a fixed pay such fixed pay, is equal to or lower than
the minimum of the scale of a Lower Division Clerk, viz. Rs. 240 (Vide
explanation to paragraph 3 (2) of the Order).
While for the above purpose a district is a Revenue district, a zone is
one of the groups of specified districts set out in the Scond Schedule to the
Order.
5. City Cadres.—The Order also requires the organisation of separate
local cadres for the City of Hyderabad in respect of categories, of posts
notified by the Central Government in G.S.R. No. 528 (E), dated 18th
October, 1975, for it is purpose under paragraph 3 (6) of the Order, The City
for this purpose shall comprise the territories specified in the first Schedule
to the Order. In respect of the categories of posts so notified the posts located
within the City (other than those concerned with the administration of
parts of the State falling outside the city) shall be organised into a separate
cadre which is briefly referred to as a City cadre. In such cases, the posts
included in such City cadre stand excluded from the district cadre that
may be organised for Hyderabad district (in respect of posts belonging to

44
the category of Lower Division Clerk or equivalent or lower categories)
or the zonal cadre that may by organised for Zone-VI (in respect of posts
belonging to a non-gazetted category above the level of lower Division
Clerk or a specified gazetted category) as the case may be.
6. Multizonal Cadres.— The order also contemplates (vide paragraph 3
(5) that in respect of any non-gazetted categories above the level of Lower
Division Clerk or any specified gazetted categories, the State Government
may with the approval of the Central Government organise the posts
belonging to such category in any department or establishment thereof into
a single cadre for two or more zones. Separate instructions will issue as to
the departments and categories if any in respect of each such cadre, which
may be briefly referred to as multizonal cadres, should be organised.
7. More than one Local Cadre permissible within a Local Area.–It should
borne in mind that where the State Government is required to organised
a local cadre for any part of the State, there is no objection to organising
or continuing more than one local cadre for such part of the State (Vide
paragraph 3 (7) of the Order). There is, therefore, no objection to having
more than one cadre in Revenue district in respect of a post belonging to
the category of Lower Division Clerk or below; or to having more than
one cadre in a zone in respect of a higher category.
8. Departments and posts excluded from the purview of the order.– It
should be carefully noted that certain posts are altogether excluded from
the application of the provisions of the Presidential Order. But virtue of
paragraph 14 of the Order, posts in the Secretariat, Offices of the Heads of
Departments, State level Offices/ Institutions, Major Development Projects
and special offices or establishments and posts of Police Officers as defined
in clause (b) of Section 3 of the Hyderabad City Police Act, (1348 F), are
excluded. The lists of State Level Offices/Institutions, Major Development
Projects and Special offices / establishments have been notified in G.O.
I. notifications G.S.R. Nos. 527 (E) 525 (E), and 526 (E) respectively,
dated 18th October, 1975. As already indicated, non-gazetted categories of
posts exempted by the notification G.S.R. No. 529 (E), dated 18 th October,
1975 issued under paragraph 3 (8) of the Order are also excluded from
the local cadres. Therefore, department which consist exclusively of posts
of the nature or belongs to categories referred to above automatically get
excluded from the scheme of localisation. The departments listed in the
Annexure to this order will be covered by the scheme.
9. Steps towards organisation of Local Cadres.— Action to be taken by

45
the Departments for implementing the provisions relating to organisation
of local cadres may be broadly listed as under :
(A) Identification of the categories to be localised and drawing up of a
scheme of localisation :
(B) Determining the cadre strength of the different local cadres :
(C) Allotment of personnel amongst different local cadres; and
(D) Amendment of Service Rules.
These steps are dealt with below :
(A) Identification of categories and preparation of scheme of
localisation.—The first step is to identify the different categories of posts
in the departments that require to be organised into local cadres under
Presidential Order. This will comprise all non-gazetted posts other than
those exempted under the Notification G.S.R. No. 529 (E) , dated 18 th
October, 1975 issued under paragraph 3 (8) of the Order and also the
specified gazetted categories. The next stage is to determine whether in
respect of each such category the existing local cadres themselves conform
to the provisions of the presidential Order. In many departments in respect
of non-gazetted posts, units of appointment have been specified which may
comprise either apart of the district, a whole district or a group of districts.
In some cases the units may be circles or divisions which comprise parts of
more than one district. There may also be categories, which are state wide
or region wide. In the case of Gazetted Categories the State as a whole is the
unit of appointment except in case of Tahsildars and Block Development
Officers where the region is a unit. Reviewing the existing position regarding
units of appointment in respect of various categories, action to prepare the
scheme of localisation of cadres in respect of each department may be taken
on the following lines :
(a) District Cadres.— Applicable to lower Division Clerks, and
categories of posts equivalent to or lower than Lower Division 􀀀􂘀􄼀􄠀􅔀􄸀􅘀􁄀
(i) where the existing unit of appointment is the district. or a
unit smaller than a district th existing unit may be allowed to
remain;
(ii) where the existing unit of appointment covers two or more
districts or overlaps more than one district, the existing units
of appointment will have to be altered so as to be limited to one
district.

46
(iii) where the existing unit of appointment is State-wide or region-wide
it will have to be broken up into separate units of appointment in
respect of each district.
(b) Zonal Cadres .—Applicable to non-gazetted categories above the
level of Lower Division Clerks.
(i) In cases where the existing unit of appointment is a district or a unit
smaller than a district the existing unit may be allowed to remain
(for example, Deputy Tahsildars in the Revenue Department);
(ii) In cases where the existing unit of appointment covers a group
of districts co-terminus with or falling entirely with in a zone
specified in the Second Schedule to the Orders the existing unit
of appointment may remain;
(iii) In cases where the existing unit of appointment comprises a group
of districts, that overlaps more than one zone the existing units
of appointment have to be so adjusted that no unit overlaps more
than one zone;
(iv) in cases where the existing unit of appointment is State-wide or
Region-wide the unit will have to be split up into separate units
one for each zone.
(c) Zonal Cadres.—Applicable to specified gazetted categories,
Except in the case of Tahsildars and Block Development Officers where
the Andhra and Telangana regions constitute separate units of appointment,
in other cases, the unit of appointment is the State as a whole. ln all these
cases (including the cases of Tahsildars and Block Development Officers)
separate cadres will have to be organised in respect of each zo􀀀􅀀􄜀􁀀
(d) City Cadre.— Applicable to categories notified under paragraph
3 (6) of the Order (vide G.S.R. NO. 528 (E). dated 18th October, 1975) :
(i) If the existing unit of appointment in respect of posts in the
City (other than those concerned with the administration of
areas falling outside the said City) is the City area or a part
thereof, the existing unit of appointment may be allowed to
remain;
(ii) in other cases such posts should be constituted into a separate
local cadre treating the City as a separate unit of appointment.
The posts so included in the cadre shall be excluded from other
district or zonal cadres as the case may be.

47
(e) Re-adjustment of territorial jurisdictions.—In several departments,
the unit of appointment in respect of non-gazetted categories is linked to
the territorial jurisdiction of an authority or officer subordinate to the
Head of the Department. For instance, the unit of appointment for Upper
Division Clerks in the Commercial Taxes Department is the division
incharge of Deputy Commissioner. In the case of such Departments if it
becomes necessary to alter the units of appointment in order to bring them
into conformity with the Presidential Order, a corresponding adjustment in
the territorial jurisdiction of the departmental authority may also become
necessary and will have to be made. In some cases where the work load is
such, that this cannot be made without sanction of additional posts, separate
action is being taken to sanction the requisite posts required therefor to
facilitate such adjustment. For instance, in the case of Police Department
a post of an additional D.I.G. is being sanctioned so as to facilitate each
zone becoming co-terminus with a D.I.Gs range which constitutes the unit
of appointment for Sub-Inspectors of Police, Circle Inspectors of Police
etc. There may, however, be several departments where the work load does
not justify having a separate subordinate authority for each district / zone.
In such ceses there is no objection to a subordinate authority exercising
jurisdiction over two or more districts / zones. However, each district will
have to be constituted into a separate unit of appointment for posts up to the
level of Lower Division Clerks, and each zone a separate unit of appointment
for higher posts, and all th separate cadres within his jurisdiction will be
under the control of the departmental authority.
There may be departments and categories in which th unit of appointment
is a State or a region and where as a result of the implementation of the
Presidential Order district and zonal cadres will have to be organised. It
will now be open for the Departments to consider whether in such cases
such units of appointments should not be suitably linked to the territorial
jurisdiction of the subordinate authorities with powers delegated to
such authorities for management of such local cadres. Where this is
not considered possible either because there is no suitable subordinate
territorial set up under the Head of the Department or for other reason the
district and zonal cadres for the different posts of the State will have to be
managed centrally.
(f) Drawing up scheme of localisation.— In cases where the existing
units of appointment for a category in a Department already conform to the
Presidential Order, no further particular action is called for. In other cases
a scheme of localisation will have to be drawn involving an alteration of

48
existing units of appointments (and, to the extent necessary, a re-adjustment
of the territorial jurisdictions of subordinate authorities) and specifying the
local cadres that will have to be organised in respect of each 􀀀􄔀􄌀􅘀􄜀􄤀􅄀􅐀􅬀􁀀
(B) Determination of cadre strength of the different Local Cadre.—The
next step is to determine the cadre strength of each of such local cadres.
This may be done in the manner set out in th following sub-para􀀀􄨀􅔀􄐀􅌀􄬀􅘀􁄀
The basic strength of a local cadre will be the number of posts of the
concerned category in a department located in that part of the State the
district zone, city (or part of any such area), multi-zones as the case may
be for which the local cadre has to be organised. However, posts in Major
Development Projects and in special offices or establishments even though
physically located within a district or zone shall be excluded in computing
the basic cadre strength of the local cadre. The posts in the Secretariat,
Offices of Head of the Department and State level offices/Institutions will
also stand excluded.
The next step is to determine the effective strength of the local cadre.
The effective strength will represent the basic strength of the cadre together
with a fair share of the other posts which do not constitute a part of the basic
strength of the local cadres but are generally filled by persons drawn from
such cadres. For instance, there may be posts in the Major Development
Projects, Special Offices or Establishments, State-level offices/Institutions.
Offices of the Heads of the Departments and the Secretariat which are
filled on a tenure basis by persons belonging to categories which would be
organised with local cadres; for example, the posts of Junior Engineers in
th Office of the Chief Engineer, posts of Deputy Registrars of Co-operative
Societies in the Office of the Registrar of Co-operative Societies etc. To
determine the exact contribution of such posts to the strength of the different
local cadres the following procedure should be adopted.
(1) The total number of such posts in the Secretariate, Heads of
Departments, State-level Offices / Institutions and Major Development
Projects shall be apportioned amongst different local cadres in proportion
to the basic strength of such local cadres;
(2) the number of such posts in each special office or establishment
shall be apportioned amongst the local cadres located within the territorial
limits of the areas served by such office or establishment in proportion to
the basic strength of such local cadres ;
(3) basic strength of each local cadre together with additions referred

49
to under items (1) and (2) above would constitute the effective strength of
each local cadre.
The authority competent to approve the effective strength of each local
cadre shall be the appointing authority in respect of the posts belonging to
the category for which the cadre has been organised.
(C) Allotment of persons to the different Local Cadres.—The next stage
is the allotment of persons belonging to a given category in a department
to different local cadres. Para 4 of the presidential Order lays down the
principles and procedure to be followed in making such allotment. The
factors to be taken into account in making the allotment or setout in subparagraph
(2) of para 4 of the Order, while sub-paras(3) to (6) of that
paragraph set out the procedure to be followed.
A pro-forma has been prepared (vide pro forma attached to this order)
to enable collection of data for facilitating allotment. Sufficient number of
forms in th above pro-forma are being printed and will be made available
to the various Heads of the Departments and to the District, Collectors. The
Heads of Departments and the District Collectors will take steps to see that
copies of pro forma are made freely available to persons belonging to all
categories in respect of which localisation of cadres has to be undertaken
under the Presidential Order. Each Government servant will be required to
fill in the pro forma in duplicate and hand it over to the Head of the Office
in which he is working or in the case of an officer on leave etc, to the Head
of the Office in which he last worked, within the time specified. The Head
of such Office shall take further action as follows ;
(a) Non-Gazetted categories.— In the case of non-gazetted categories
the head of Office shall transmit one copy directly to the Head of the
Department the second copy shall, after due verification of particulars with
reference to service registers etc,. be furnished to the Head of the Department
as early as practicable.
(b) Gazetted categories.— The Head of Office shall transmit one copy
directly to the Secretary to Government in the concerned department and
the second copy to the Head of the Department. The Head of the Department
shall arrange to verify the particulars with reference to the service records
with the Accountant -General etc., and shall retain the verified copy with
him.
Where a Government servant required to submit the pro forma has not
done so within the stipulated time, the Head of Office / Department shall
J-698/5

50
arrange to compile the required information in respect of such persons on
the basis of records available and shall furnish them along with verified
pro forma received.
Under para 4 (3) of the Order the State Government may constitute
committees to advice on th allotment of persons to local cadres. In
accordance with this provision the Government are separately issuing
orders constituting such committees for both gazetted and non-gazetted
categories in different departments.
As soon as the verified pro-forma have been received duly compiled,
Secretary to Government of the Department or the Head of the Department,
as the case may be, shall arrange for the meeting of the Committee and
shall furnish to the committee the localisation scheme pertaining to the
relevant category of posts including the effective strength of the different
local cadres and the names, of the persons holding posts in the concerned
category together with the particulars set out in th pro forma arranged in
order of seniority. The committee shall at the first instance scrutinise the
localisation scheme and verify the correctness of the cadre strength of the
proposed local cadres and thereafter on consideration of the material placed
before it make recommendation to the Government in respect of gazetted
categories and the present State-wide non-gazetted categories and to the
Head of the Department in respect of other non-gazetted categories on the
allotment of different persons to different local cadres. Allotment of a person
may ordinarily be confined to the category of the post actually held by him
unless a person holding a post in a particular category is likely to be reverted
to the lower category in which case allotment of such a person may be made
in the category of post held by him as also in the immediate lower category
to which he is liable to be reverted. In cases where the number of persons
holding the posts is in excess of the effective strengths of the different local
cadres as a result of persons being on leave on deputation etc., the number
of persons so in excess shall also be allotted to the different local cadres.
Likewise where the number of persons holding the posts falls short of the
effective strengths of different local cadres on account of unfilled vacancies
such number of vacancies shall be allocated amongst different local cadres.
The State Government or the Head of the Department, as the case may
be, will, after considering the recommendations of the Committee, make
an order alloting the persons concerned to the different local cadres and
communicate the same to them. These orders shall take immediate effect
and local cadres would stand organised immediately thereafter. Under
para 4 (4) of the Order a person aggrieved by such order may submit a

51
representation to the State Government within a period of Sixty days from
the date of communication of the order and the State Government shall
refer all such representation to the appropriate committee for its advice. On
receipt of the advice of the committee the State Government shall pass orders
thereon provided no order which affects the allotment of any other person
shall be made without giving an opportunity to that other person to make
a representation. Every such order shall, subject to right of representation
to the Administrative Tribunal be final.
(D) Amendment of Service Rules.— As indicated earlier the concept of
a local cadre is directly related to the concept of unit of appointment under
the State Service Rules, Para 5 (1) of the Order makes it clear that each part
of the State for which a local cadre is organised in respect of any category
shall be a separate unit for purposes of recruitment, appointment, discharge,
seniority, promotion and transfer, and such other matters as may be specified
by the State Government in respect of that category. The provisions of the
Order prevail over the existing Service Rules to the extent of inconsistency;
but Departments of Secretariate must take immediate action to amend the
Service Rules in conformity with the scheme of organisation of local cadres
prepared and given effect to under the Presidential Order.
10. Inter Cadre transfers.— Though posts may be organised into
separate local cadres, para 5 (2) of the Presidential Order provides that the
State Government may make a provision for transfer of persons from, and
to, local cadre under certain circumstances. These are elucidat􀀀􄜀􄘀􀈀􄐀􄜀􄸀􅄀􅤀􁰀
(a) Transfer of a person from any local cadre to any office or
establishment to which the Order does not apply, or vice-versa.
This enables a provision being made for drawing persons on tenure basis
from different local cadres to fill equivalent posts in Major Development
Projects Special Offices or Establishment etc. There are also cases where
provision exists for appointment of persons in mofussil offices by transfer
to the Offices of Heads of Departments. For instance a certain proportion
of ministerial posts in the Offices of Heads of Departments is to be filled by
transfer from ministerial categories in the subordinate offices in the districts.
A provision of this kind is protected under the Presidential Or􀀀􄘀􄜀􅐀􁀀
(b) Transfer of a person from a local cadre comprising posts in any
office or establishment exercising territorial jurisdiction over a part of
the State to any other local cadre comprising posts in such part, or vice

52
versa.
There may be some regional offices exercising territorial jurisdiction
over more than one district or over more than one zone, and which office
constitutes a separate unit of appointment in respect of certain categories.
There is no objection in such a case to making a provision in the rules for
filling up such posts by transfer of persons holding posts in the local cadres
located within the area over which that office has territorial jurisdiction or
vice-versa. For instance, if there is a post of Superintendent in a regional
office exercising territorial jurisdiction over more than one zone there is no
objection to making a provision that such posts shall be filled by promotion
from amongst Upper Division Clerks not only from the regional office
but from any of the corresponding zonal cadres where such provision is
considered expedient. Similarly, posts of Lower Division Clerks in a zonal
office exercising territorial jurisdiction over more than one district but
which is a separate unit in respect of Lower Division Clerks may be filled
by transfer of persons from any of the district cadres if provision to that
effect exists. This clause in th Presidential Order will facilitate a provision
being made in the Service Rules to ensure equitable participation by persons
belonging to different local cadres in the employment and promotionopportunities
of an office or establishment having territorial jurisdiction
over the part of the State served by more than one local cadre.
(c) Transfer of a person from one local cadre to another local
cadre where no qualified or suitable person is available in the latter cadre
or where such transfer is otherwise considered necessary in the public
interest.
This will enable a provision being made in the Service Rules enabling
transfer from one local cadre to another under exceptional circumstances
where no qualified candidate may be available in the latter cadre or where
transfer becomes necessary in the public interest on account of ACB
enquires etc.
In making suitable amendments to the Service Rules the permissive
provisions contained in the Presidential Order as outlined above should
be borne in mind.
11. Equitable sharing of certain opportunities.— While certain posts
remain outside the purview of the Presidential Order and para 5 of that
Order permits transfer of persons from a post in a local cadre to such posts

53
and vice-versa, the Government have, as a matter of policy decided that the
benefit of the employment and promotional opportunities in such non-local
cadre posts which are filled by transfer of persons from local cadres should
be shared equitably amongst different local cadres. Towards this end it has
been decided as follows:
(i) Where persons are taken whether on tenure basis or on permanent
transfer from different local cadres to fill posts in Major Development
Projects, State-level Offices / Institutions, Offices of the Heads of
Departments and Secretariate the number of persons drawn from each such
cadre shall, as far as practicable, be in proportion to the basic strength of
each such cadre.
(ii) where persons are taken from different local cadres on tenure bars
or on permanent transfer to fill posts in any Special Office or Establishment
such persons shall be drawn from the local cadres located in the areas served
by such office or establishment and the numbers so drawn from each local
cadre shall, as far as practicable, be in proportion to the basic strength of
each such cadre.
12. Interim appointments / promotions.—Para 13 of the Order specifies
that all interim appointments/promotions made after commencement of the
order to posts that required to be organised into local cadres pending
such organisation shall be deemed to be provisional and shall be reviewed
and readjusted after the local cadres have been organised Departments of
Secretariat and Heads of Departments are requested to bear this in mind.
Instructions in regard to interim appointments promotions are being issued
separately.
The Government which to emphasize that they attach the greatest
importance to the taking of speedy and proper action to implement the
scheme of organisation of local cadres under the Presidential Order
within the period of twelve months specified therein . All Secretaries to
Government and Heads of Departments are hereby required to initiate
forthwith appropriate action in this regard in the light of the provisions of
the order and the clarifications and instructions set out in this Order.
(By order and in the name of the Governor of Andhra Pradesh)
N. BHAGWANDAS,
Chief Secretary to Government.

GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH
ABSTRACT
The Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local
Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975
— Regulation of Direct Recruitment — Instructions — Issued.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION (SPF-A) DEPARTMENT
G.O.P. No. 729. Dated : 1-11-1975
Read the following :–
(1) G.O. Ms. No. 674, General. Admn. (SPF-A) Dept., Dated 20-10-
75.
(2) G.O. Ms. No. 675, Genl. Admn. (SPF-A) Dept., dated 20-10-75.
ORDER :
The President of India, has in exercise of the powers conferred by
clause (1) and (2) of Article 371 - D of the Constitution made the Andhra
Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation
of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975, providing for equitable opportunities
and facilities for the people belonging to the different parts of the State in
the matter of Public Employment.
2. Extent and Commencement.—The said Order has come into force on
the eighteenth day of October, 1975 and applies to the whole of the State
of Andhra Pradesh.
3. Scheme of the Order.—The main purpose of the order is to ensure
that a major share of the vancancies arising in certain categories of posts
in different parts the State should be reserved for being filled by those
who belong to the parts. The scheme of the Order contains the following
Principal gradients :
(a) Organisation of local cadres comprising Government posts in
different parts of the State :
(b) Specification of local areas relatable to each such local cadre as well
as to cadres under local authorities in different parts of the 􀀀􃔀􅘀􄌀􅘀􄜀􁴀

60
(c) Specification of who should be deemed to be a local candidate in
relation to each local area ; and
(d) Percentage of posts in each local cadre or in each cadre under
local authority to be reserved in the matter of direct recruitment in favour
of local candidates of the local area relatable to such cadre.
The organisation of different local cadres has been dealt with elaborately
in G.O.P. No. 728, dated 1-11-1975. The other aspects or dealt with in this
G.O.
4. Scheme of Reservation.– The Scheme of reservation in the matter
of direct recruitment provided under the Presidential Order applies to the
following posts.
A. Posts under State Government :
(i) Posts belonging to non-gazetted categories and forming part of
local cadres;
(ii) Posts belonging to gazetted categories of Junior Engineers and
Tahsildars and farming part of local cadres ;
(iii) Posts belonging to the category of Civil Assistant Surgeo􀀀􅀀􅔀􁀀
B. Posts under local authorities :
Posts carrying a scale of pay the minimum of which or a fixed pay
which does not exceed Rs. 480 p.m. and forming part of a cadre under
a local authority.
A local cadre for this purpose means any local cadre of posts under
the State Government organised in pursuance of para 3 of the order or
constituted otherwise for any part of the State. It may be noted here that
the scheme of reservation in favour of local candidates does not apply
to gazetted categories other than Tahsildars, Junior Engineers and
Civil Assistant Surgeons, even though they may have been organised
into local cadres by virtue of their inclusion in Third Schedule to the
Order.
The expression “local authority”does not include any local authority
not under the control of the State Government. Therefore, while Gram
Panchayats, panchayat Samithis, Zilla Parishads, Zilla Grandhalaya
Samsthas, Municipalities and Hyderabad Municipal Corporation will

61
be covered, the scheme will not apply to posts under the Port-Trust.
Visakhapatnam and Secunderabad Contonment Board.
5. The provision of the Order regarding reservations in the matter
of direct recruitment in favour of local candidates do not, however,
apply to the posts specified in para 14 of the Order, viz., posts in the
Secretariat in the offices of the Heads of the Departments, in the Special
Offices / Establishments notified by the Central Government in G.S.R
No. 526 (E), dated 18-10-1975, in the State level Offices/Institutions
notified by the Central Government in G.S R. No. 527 (E), dated 18-
10-1975 in the Major Development Projects notified by the Central
Government in G.S.R. No. 525 (E), dated 18-10-1975 and posts
of Police Officers as defined in clause (b) of section 3 of the Hyderabad
City Police Act, 1348 Fasli.
6. Local Areas.—Para 6 of the Order specifies the different parts of
the State which shall be regarded as local areas in relation to the different
local cadre as also to cadre under different local authorities. The territorial
ambit of the local area depends upon th category of posts comprised in the
local cadre. The following Table explains the position.
TABLE
Local Cadre Local Area

62
Wile the district refers to a revenue district, the territorial ambit of the
different zones has been specified in the Second Schedule to the Order.
7. A special mention must be made here about the local area relateable
to City cadres organised for the departments and the categories of posts
notified by the Central Government in G.S.R. No. 528 (E), dated 18-10-1975
under para 3 (6) of the Presidential Order. In respect of such City cadres
comprising posts belonging to the non-gazetted categories and the gazetted
category of Junior Engineers the City of Hyderabad shall be deemed to be
the relevant local area; correspondingly the areas comprised in the City shall
be excluded from the Hyderabad district or Zone -VI, as the case may be,
in determining the local area relateable to the other district or zonal cadres
comprising posts in such departments and belonging to such cate􀀀􄤀􅄀􅐀􄬀􄜀􅔀􁀀
8. The City of Hyderabad shall also be regarded as a local area in
relation to posts in any cadre under a local authority within the City
comprising posts carrying a scale of pay, the minimum of which or a
fixed pay which, does not exceed Rs. 480 p.m. here also the City shall be
excluded in determining the local area relateable to any cadre under any
local authority not within the said City.
9. Local Candidate.— Para7 of the Order sets out the conditions that
a candidate will have to satisfy before he can be considered to be a local
candidate of any local area. The criterion laid down is based on study or
residence for a specified period within the local area. A candidate shall
regarded as a local candidate in relation to local area if he has studied in
an educational institution or institutions of such local area for a period
of not less than 4 consecutive academic years ending with the academic
years in which, he appeared or as the case may be, first appeared for the
relevant qualifying examination. The relevant qualifying examination is
the examination, a pass in which is the minimum educational qualification
prescribed for the post of which the candidate has applied or matriculation
examination (or an examination declared by the State Government to be
equivalent to the matriculation examination) whichever is lower. Thus, if a
candidates has studied consecutively in the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th classes
in one or more institutions within a district or zone immediately before he
appeared for the S.S.C. or similar examination he shall be regard as a local
candidate of that district or zone in connection with any application which
he may make for a post for which the minimum educational qualification
is matriculation examination or any higher qualification; in other words,
the locality in which he prosecuted his studies above the matriculation
standard is irrelevant for determining the local candidate in so far as the
recruitment to public services is concerned.
In case where a candidate has not studied in any educational institution
during the whole or any part of the specified 4 year period he shall be

(1) (a) A local cadre under the State Government comprising all or
any of the posts in any Department in a district belonging
to the categories equivalent to or lower than that of Lower
Division Clerk (a post should be deemed to be equivalent to
or lower than that of Lower Division Clerk, If the minimum
of scale of pay such posts or if the post is borne on such
fixed pay, such fixed pay does not exceed the minimum of
the scale of pay of Lower Division Clerk).
(b) Cadres under any local authority with a district carrying a
scale of pay, minimum of which or a fixed pay which, does
not exceed the minimum of scale of pay of a Lower Division
Clerk.
(2) (a) Any local cadre under the State Government comprising
all or any of the posts in any Department in any zone
belonging to any non-gazetted category other than those
referred to in item (1) (a)–above.
(b) Any local cadre under th State Government comprising all
or any of the posts in any department in any zone belonging
to the categories of Tahsildars and Junior Engineers.
(c) Any cadre under a local authority within a zone carrying a
scale of pay, the minimum of which or a fixed pay exceeds
Rs. 240 p.m. i.e., the minimum of the scale of pay of Lower
Division Clerk but does not exceed Rs. 480 p.m.

63
regarded as a local candidate in relation to a local area if he has resided in
that local area for a period of not less than 4 years immediately preceding
the date of commencement of the relevant qualifying examination in which
he appeared or as the case may be, first appeared for the ralevant qualifying
examination. Thus, the residence test is to be applied to all candidates who
have failed to put in the prescribed full term of 4 years in an educational
institution.
The following points should, however, be noted :
(a) Educational institution has been defined as one recognised by
the State Government, a University or other competent authority. Where
a candidate has studied during the relevant period in an unrecognised
institution his qualification for local candidature will have to be determined
on the basis of the residence test.
(b) The period of 4 years is to be reckoned with reference to the first
appearance at the relevant qualifying examination in cases where on account
of failure to pass at the first attempt, a candidate appeared more than once
for the relevant qualifying examination.
(c) In reckoning the consecutive academic years during which a
candidate has studied, any period of interruption of his study by reason of
failure to pass the examination shall be disregarded. This is intended to cover
cases where a candidate who has studied in a school has had to interrupt
his studies temporarily on account of failure to pass an examination but
is in a position to resume his studies subsequently on such passing in such
cases the period of interruption is to be ignored the computing consecutive
period of 4 years.
10. The above provisions apply in cases of recruitment to posts for
which a minimum educational qualification has been prescribed. In a rare
case where no minimum educational qualification has been prescribed
for direct recruitment to any post, a candidate shall be regarded as local
candidate in relation to a local area if he has resided in that local area for
a period of not less than 4 years immediately preceding the date on which
the post was notified for recruitment.
11. Extent of reservation.—The extent of reservation prescribed in
favour of local candidates for filling posts by direct recruitments is set out
in para 8 of the Order. The percentage of reservation varies depending upon
the category of posts they being greater in the case of lower categories and
smaller in the case of higher categories. The position is indic􀀀􄐀􅜀􄠀􄜀􀌀􄔀􄠀􄼀􅈀􅨀 .

exceed Rs. 480 p.m.
3. Junior Engineers and 60 % The benefit of reservation will
Tahsildars. go to local candidates of the zone
or the City of Hyderabad, as the
case may be.
12. Recruitment to multi-zonal Cadres.—The special provisions
contained in sub-paras (4) and (5) of para 8 of the Order should be
carefully noted. Sub-para (4) provides that where in respect of non-gazetted
categories above Lower Division Clerks, single cadre has been organised
for more than one zone under sub-para (5) of para 3, 70 % of the Posts
filled by direct recruitment at any time in such a multi-zonal cadre shall be
reserved in favour of and allocated among the local candidates of the various
zones covered by such cadre in the ratio specified in the Second Schedule
to the Order against the respective zones. The position is similar in respect
of any multi-zonal cadre that may be organised for Junior Engineers and
Tahsildars except that the percentage of reservation in these cases will be
only 60 %.

65
13. Recruitment of Civil Assistant Surgeons.— The category of Civil
Assistant Surgeons under the State Government stands on a special footing
in that the category is not being organised into a local cadre, but preference
in the matter of recruitment is required to be given to the local candidates of
the different local areas, Sub-para (5) of para 8 of the Order provides that
60 % of posts filled up by direct recruitment at any time in that category
shall be reserved in favour of and allocated among the local candidates
in relation to the different local areas specified in column (1) of the Table
in that paragraph in the respective ratios specified in column (2) thereof.
Thus, if there are 100 vacancies to be filled by direct recruitment at a time
in this category in the State, 60 % of the 100 vacancies would be reserved
in favour of and allocated among the local candidates of the local areas in
the respective ratios specified against each local area in the Table.
14. Arriving at number of posts to be reserved or allocated.—Certain
consequential provisions have been incorporated in sub-paras (6), (7) and
(8) of paragraph 8 of the Order to facilitate determination of the exact
number of posts in any cadre required to be reserved or allocated at any time
amongst the local candidates. It has been stipulated that there shall be at
least one unreserved posts while making recruitment to posts in any cadre
at any time and that any fraction of a post that results while calculating the
number of posts to be reserved shall be counted as one. While allocating
reserved posts among the local candidates in relation to different local
areas in the case of recruitment to a multi-zonal cadre or for recruitment
of Civil Assistant Surgeons if any fractions arise they shall be adjusted by
counting successively the fraction in descending order of magnitude as
one and where the fraction to be so counted cannot be selected by reason
of the fractions being equal, the selection shall be by lot. It has also been
provided that while allocating posts, as far as possible, at least one post
shall be allocated for the local candidates in respect of each local area.
The purpose sought to be achieved is that there shall at least be minimum
of one unreserved post and to the extent possible, a minimum of one post
reserved for each local area while making recruitment to a multi-zonal
cadre or for the Civil Assistant surgeons category.
15. Direct recruitment and unit of appointment.—By virtue or
clause (b) sub-para (1) of para 2 of the Order direct recruitment includes
recruitment made on a temporary basis. Thus, the provisions of the Order
relating to reservations for local candidates in direct recruitment are
applicable to both regular recruitment and temporary recruitment but does
not include recruitment made in pursuance of any scheme approved by the
State Government providing for the regularisation of the services of persons
holding posts on a temporary basis before 18-10-1975.
16. Sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 5 of the Order specifies that each














J-698/6

66
part of the State for which a local cadre has been organised in respect of a
category shall be a separate unit for purposes of recruitment, appointment
etc; this means that each local cadre will be a separate unit and the scheme
of reservation will be separately applicable to the vacancies in each local
cadre. In the case of Civil Assistant Surgeons the entire State constitutes
the unit of recruitment.
17. It should be carefully noted that in respect of a single category in
a department, there may be more than one local cadre within a local area
and that though the territorial spread of a local cadre or a cadre under a
local authority may be smaller than a local area relateable to that cadre
the local candidates of the entire local area will be entitled to preference in
the matter of direct recruitment. To illustrate, though a Revenue division is a
unit for purposes of direct recruitment of peons in the Revenue Department,
local candidates of the entire district-which is the local area-shall be entitled
to preference for all division units with in district. Similarly, since the
zone is the local area relateable to the district cadre of Deputy Tahsildars,
preference will be given to local candidates not only of the district for which
recruitment is made but of the whole zone. Likewise, if a Panchayat Samithi
in a district is recruiting Lower Division Clerks and Uppar Division Clerks,
local candidates of the whole district will be entitled to preference in the
matter of recruitment of Lower Division Clerks and the local candidates
of the whole zone will be entitled to preference in the recruitment for the
category of Uppar Division Clerks. It follows therefore that if recruitment
is bearing made in respect of non-gazetted categories above the level of
Lower Division Clerks an obligation is cast on the appointing/recruiting
authority to notify the vacancies to all the Employment Exchanges with in
the zone. Separately instructions will issue in regard to the manner in which
the reservation in to be effected and the candidates are to be selected.
Recruitment of Regional Office.— There may be in some departments,
regional offices exercising territorial jurisdiction over more than one districts
or zone, which offices constitute separate units of appointment (i.e., separate
cadre) for Lower Division Clerks, Uppar Division Clerks etc. If direct
recruitment is undertaken to any such cadre, in so far as categories of Lower
Division Clerks and categories equivalent and , lower than that of a Lower
Division Clerk are concerned, preference will be available only to local
candidates of the district in which the office is located even if the offices
exercise jurisdiction on more than one district. In the case of higher nongazetted
categories, preference will be confined to the local candidates of
the zone in which that office is located, even if the regional office happens
to serve more than one zone. However, it may be noted here that para 5 (2)
(b) of the Order enables provision being made for the transfer of persons
to such regional office cadres from other local cadres within the territorial
jurisdiction of such office and vice-versa. This has been provided to ensure

67
that in the matter of employment opportunities in such regional office,
candidates belonging to the local areas served by the regional office get a
fair share. The intention of the State Government is that vacancies arising
in respect of such cadres should be freely filled in by transfer and that resort
should be had to direct recruitment only where necessary.
19. City of Hyderabad and recruitment to City Cadre, etc.—In the case
of recruitment to separates City cadres constituted for the non-gazetted
categories or the category of Junior Engineer notified under para 3 (6) of
the Order, local candidates of the City will get’s preference. In the case of
such categories and departments, local candidates of the City will not be
entitled to any preference in respect of the district cadre or cadres pertaining
to the Hyderabad district and zonal cadre or cadres pertaining to ZoneVI.
In the case of other departments and categories, i.e., those for which
local cadres are constituted, but for which no separate City cadres will be
formed by virtue of para 3(6) of the order the city will be treated as part of
Hyderabad district or Zone-VI as the case may be and local candidates of
the City will compete with and will be entitled to preference as in the case
of other local candidates of the district or zone, as the case 􀀀􅀀􄐀􅰀􀌀􄔀􄠀􁄀
20. Local candidates of the City of Hyderabad will also secure
preference in the matter of direct recruitment to posts in local authorities
situated within the City of Hyderabad and carrying a scale of pay, the
minimum of which or a fixed pay which, does not exceed Rs. 480 p.m.
Correspondingly, the City will be excluded while determining local area
in respect of local authorities not situated within the City local candidates
will not be entitled to preference in such recruitment. For instance, while
City candidates will get preference in the matter of recruitment to posts of
lower Division Clerks in Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, the Hyderabad
district (non-City) candidates will not. In the case of recruitment to similar
posts in the Hyderabad Zilla Parishad the latter candidates will get
preference, but the former will not.
21. Recruitment of posts in Secretariat. Offices of Heads of
Departments, etc.—As indicate earlier the scheme of reservation in favour
of local candidates will not apply to posts in th Secretariat, offices of Heads
of department, and State - level offices / institutions notified in G.S.R. No.
527 (E), dated 18-10-1975. Direct recruitment to fill posts in these offices
will be on a State-wide basis. The scheme of reservation in favour of local
candidates will not also apply to the posts in special offices/establishments
notified in G.S.R. No. 526 (E), dated 18-10-1975. It is the Government’s
intention that such offices and establishments should as far as possible
cease to be separate units of appointment and that posts in such offices and
establishments should not ordinary be filled by direct recruitment, but by
drawing persons on tenure form different local cadres on an equitable basis.

68
The scheme of reservation does not apply to posts in Major Development
Projects notified in G.S.R. No. 525 (E), dated 18-10-1975. Here
also it is the intention of the State Government that the posts in such projects
should be largely filled by showing persons on transfer or tenture equitably
from different local cadres. Where however, any direct recruitment becomes
essential it will be done on a State-wide basis.
22. Proof of local Candidature.—A candidate making an application
for direct recruitment to a post to which the scheme of reservation to a local
candidate applies and claiming to be a local candidate will have to adduce
adequate proof of such local candidature. It has been decided that in the
case of those candidates who have studied in an educational institutions
during the whole of the relevant 4-years period they may produce for this
purpose, study certificate issued by the Heads of Educational Institutions
concerned indicating the details of the year or years in which they studied in
the educational institution or institutions during each year of the relevant 4-
year period. In the case of candidates who have not studied in an institution
during the whole or any part of the relevant 4-year period, but who claimed
to be local candidates by virtue of residence they may produce a certificate
issued by an officer of the Revenue Department in the Form 1 appended to
this Order not below the rank of a Tahsildar including a Deputy Tahsildar
in independent charge of a sub-taluk giving particulars of the place in
which the candidates resided during the 4-year period. Where a candidate
has resided in more than one taluk during the relevant 4-years period but
within the same district or zone as the case may be, separate certificates
from the Tahsildar exercising jurisdiction may be obtained in respect of
different areas. Similar certificates in From II appended to this Order will
have to be produced by candidates applying for posts for which no minimum
educational qualification has been prescribed.
23. Before issuing a residential certificate the Tahsildar or other
authority should satisfy himself that the candidate has resided in the place
in question by suitable enquiry. Where during that year the candidate has
studied in an educational institution a certificate from that educational
institution should be secured before issuing the residence certificate.
24. In view of the fact that the matriculation examination is the relevant
qualifying examination for all posts for which th minimum educational
qualification is the matriculation or higher, a single certificate whether
of study or residence would suffice for enabling the candidate to apply
as a local candidate to all such posts and on different occasion. Where,
however, the candidate wishes to apply for a post with a lower educational
qualification or for a post not having any educational qualification a
separate certificate may have to be obtained.
25. On the basis of study residence certificate produced the recruiting

69
/ appointing authority will have to determine whether the candidate is a
local candidate of the district, zone or the City as the case may be, for
purposes of direct recruitment to the posts for which the application is
made. Candidates who apply for any post, but do not claim in be local
candidates need not produce these certificates.
26. It should be noted here that in some cases the candidate might not
be a local candidate in respect of any district but may be a local candidate
in respect of a zone. This will occur, for instance in a case where a candidate
has studied 2 years out of each of the 4 years in 2 different district : but these
2 districts both form part of the some zone. Such a candidate will be entitled
to preference for recruitment to zonal cadres but not to district cadres.
27. Carry forward of Reserved Posts.— Paragraph 9 of the Order
specifies that if a qualified local candidate in respect of a local area is not
available to fill a post reserved or allocated in favoure of a local candidate
in respect of that local area such post shall be carried forward for a period
not exceeding 3 years for recruitment of a local candidate provided that
pending such recruitment of a local candidate such post may be filled in
temporarily by borrowing the services of a person holding a post of the
same category in any other local cadre. Such borrowing may be made from
an adjacent cadre.
28. Order to have over-riding effect.— The provisions of this Order
relating to reservation in favour of local candidates have by virtue of para 11
of the Order read with clause (10) of Art. 371-D of the Constitution of India,
an over-riding effect over any statute, Ordinance, Rule, Regulation or other
order in respect of direct recruitment now in force or to be issued hereafter
in respect of direct recruitment to posts under the State Government or any
local authority. Separate action will have to be taken by the departments of
Secretariat to see that where the existing laws (including those relating to
the local authorities), rules (including service rules issued under Art. 309
of the Constitution), regulations, orders etc., are inconsistent with the order,
these are amended so as to be in conformity with the Order.
29. Reservations in favour of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes,
etc.—For the removal of doubts it has been declared in para 12 of the Order
that the said Order shall not affect the operation of any provisions made by
the State Government or other competent authority now in force or to be
issued hereafter in respect of reservation in the matter of appointments to
posts in favour of any backward classes of citizens, the Scheduled Castes and
the Scheduled Tribes to the extent those reservations are consistent with the
said Order. Detailed instructions as to the manner in which direct recruitment
should be made duly observing the rules of reservation in favour of S.Cs.,
S.Ts., and B.Cs., consistent with the provisions of this Order will issue
separately for the benefit of recruiting agencies / appointing authorities.

70
30. Review of Provisional appointments.—Para 13 of the Order makes
provision for the review and re-adjustment of any appointments made after
commencement of the Order but before the organisation of local cadres
in the light of the provisions of the Order. Instructions in regard to such
appointments and their review will issue separately.

ORDER :
The President of India has, in exercise of the powers conferred
under clauses (1) and (2) of article 371 D of the Constitution of India,
made the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local
Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) order, 1975. Paragraph
3 of the Order lays down that the State Government shall, within a
period of 12 months form the commencement of the Order i.e., 18-10-
1975, organise certain classes of posts in the Civil Services of , and
classes of Civil posts under, the State into different local cadres for
different parts of the State to the extent and in the manner specified in
that paragraph. Persons holding posts required to be organised in to
local cadres are liable to be allotted to such cadres in accordance with
the principles and procedure specified in paragraph 4 of the said order.
Each part of the state for which a local cadre has been organised in
respect of any category of posts shall be separate unit of appointment

73
for the purposes of , among others, seniority, promotion and transfer
in terms of paragraph 5 of the order.
2. Paragraph 13 of the order specifies that any appointment or
promotion made after the commencement of the Order and before
any local cadre has been organised under the provisions of the Order,
to any post which is required to be included in such cadre shall be
provisional and shall , within a period of twelve months after such
organisation, be reviewed and re-adjusted in accordance with the
provisions of the Order.
3. The State Government have considered the question of
regulation of promotions in the light of the provisions contained in the
Presidential Order and have issued orders in the Government order
second cited.
4. In view of the need for the implementation of the scheme of
organisation of local cadres enjoined upon the State Government by
the Presidential Order and the requirement regarding review and readjustment
of promotion to the relevant categories in accordance with
the provisions contained in paragraph 13 of the said Order and keeping
in view of the purposes underlying the said scheme of organisation of
local cadres and the likely complications that may arise if promotions
in respect of the relevant categories are made in accordance with the
state-wise seniority lists of the feeder services, the State Government
have decided that appointments by promotion/transfer to any State
-wide non-gazetted, gazetted category required to be organised into
local cadres in pursuance of paragraph 3 of the Order, after the
commencement of the Order but before the completion of the process
of organisation of local cadres, may be made having regard to the
likely allocation of vacancies amongst the different local cadres and
the likely ranking of officers of the feeder services in the seniority lists
of the different local cadres after allotment of persons as contemplated
in paragraph 4, so as to minimise such re-adjustment in the process of
review contemplated in paragraph 13 of the order even though such
appointments may not be in accordance with any State-wide seniority
lists in force at present. The following notification shall therefore be
published in an extraordinary issue of the Andhra Pradesh Gazette,
dated 7-11-1975.
NOTIFICATION
In exercise of the powers conferred by the provisio to article 309

of reducing, to the extent possible, the modifications that may become
necessary as a result of review and re-adjustment in such appointments
in accordance with paragraph 13 of the said Order :
Provided that all such appointment shall be provisional and subject

75
to review and re-adjustment in accordance with paragraph 13 of the

ORDER :
The Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local

76
Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 provides for a
scheme of reservation, in favour of local candidates, of (a) non-gazetted
posts forming part of local cadres, (b) Gazetted posts of Junior Engineers
and Tahsildars forming part of local cadres, (c) the Gazetted category
of Civil Assistant Surgeons under the State Government and (d) certain
posts in any cadre under the Local Authorities filled by direct recruitment.
Paragraph 11 of the Order lays down that the provisions of the Order shall
have affect notwithstanding anything contained in any Statute. Ordinance,
Rule, Regulation or other order made before or after the commencement
of the Order in respect of direct recruitment to posts under the State
Government or any Local Authority. Paragraph 12 of the Order however,
declares that nothing in the Order shall affect the operation of any provisions
made by the State Government or other competent authority before or after
the commencement of the Order in respect of reservation in the matter of
appointments to posts in favour of Backward Classes, the Scheduled Castes
and the Scheduled Tribes in so far as such provisions are not inconsistent
with the provisions of that Order.
2. Recruitment of candidates is basically of two type viz., single
unit i.e., single cadre recruitment and multiple unit i.e., multiple cadre
recruitment. Where recruitment is made to fill vacancies in a single cadre
i.e., single unit of appointment comprising posts in a given category for
a particular department, it can be categorised as single cadre recruitment.
Where recruitment is made to fill vacancies in more than one cadres, (i.e.,
for more than one unit of appointment in the same or different parts of the
State) comprising posts in a given category or different categories the one
or more departments, such recruitment will be multiple unit or multiple
cadre recruitment. For example when recruitment is made to fill vacancies
of Lower Division Clerk in a district in one department it becomes a single
cadre recruitment. Where, however, a combined recruitment is made to
fill up the posts of Lower Division Clerks in a district in more than one
department or where a combined recruitment to fill vacancies in similar
categories like Lower Division Clerks, Typists, Stenographers etc., in one
district in one or more departments is made, it becomes multiple cadre
recruitment.
3. Recruitment to a single multi-zonal cadre contemplated under the
Presidential Order and to the category of Civil Assistant Surgeons will also
come under the category of single cadre recruitment but with the different
that preference in the matter of direct recruitment in such cases is to be
given to local candidates not of local area but of the different local areas

77
covered by such cadre in the ratio prescribed in the Presidenti􀀀􄌀􄸀􀈀􃄀􅐀􄘀􄜀􅐀􁀀
4. Multiple cadre recruitment may take different forms especially in
the implementation of the proposed Presidential Order on the organisation
of local cadres. It may take the form of —
(a) Recruitment to fill up the vacancies in a single category for different
local cadres or different parts of the State (local areas) in one department,
i.e., recruitment of Clerks in the Judicial Department for Courts in the
districts undertaken by the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commi􀀀􅔀􅔀􄬀􅄀􅀀􁀀
(b) Recruitment to fill up the vacancies in identical or different
categories in different local cadres in different departments in one part of
the State (a local area) e.g., recruitment to Group -IV services undertaken
by the Collectors now.
(c) Recruitment to fill up the vacancies in different categories in
different local cadres in differnt departments for differnt parts of the State
(local areas) e.g., recruitment to Group-II Services undertaken by the Andhra
Pradesh Public Service Commission.
5. The State Government have considered the manner in which the
scheme of reservation in favour of local candidates provided in the Andhra
Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation
of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 should be implemented taking into
account the provisions made in regard to appointments in favour of
Backward Classes, the Schedule Castes and the Schedule Tribes and have
decided that the procedure set out in the Annexures to this order may be
followed in this regard.
6. The procedure setout in Annexure-I to this order bay be followed for
selection of candidates for recruitment to the category of posts for which a
single cadre recruitment is made. The procedure set out in Annexure-II will
apply to selection of candidates for recruitment to every category of posts for
which a Multi-zonal cadre is set up and also in the matter of recruitment to
the category of Civil Assistant Surgeons where the post reserved in favour
of local candidates are required to be apportioned in the prescribed ratio
among local candidates of different local areas covered by such cadre. The
procedure set out in Annexure-III to this order may be followed for selection
of candidates for recruitment to the categories of posts for which multiple
cadre recruitment is made.
7. All the recruiting authorities and appointing authorities are requested
to follow the instructions contained in the Annexures to this order while

78
making recruitment either temporary or regular, to posts coming within
the ambit of paragraph 8 of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment
(Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment)
Order, 1975.
(By order and in the name of the Governor of Andhra Pradesh.)

Chief Secretary to Government.
ANNEXURE - I
Procedure for implementation of the reservation in favour of local
candidates provided under the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment
(Organisation of Local cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment
Order, 1975 in respect of categories of posts for which single cadre
recruitment i.e., Recruitment of Candidates to a single local cadre is
to be made.
1. The number of posts reserved in favour of local candidates in
relation to the local area in respect of the category of posts in the local
cadre shall first be determined; this number shall be the prescribed
percentage of all the vacant posts to be filled by direct recruitment ,
any fraction of post being counted as one provided that there shall be
at least one post left unreserved.
2. From amongst all eligible applicants, whether such applicant are
local candidates or not, a provisional list of selected candidates to fill
up all the available vacant posts shall be drawn up. This provisional
list shall be prepared on the basis of the relative merits of all eligible
applicant and the reservations in favour of the Schedule Castes, the
Schedule Tribes, Backward Classes, Physically Handicapped persons
etc., as provided under the relevant service rules. The candidates
included in the provisional selection list shall be arranged in order of
merit or where the service rules provide for their arrangement in the
order of the rotation specified in General Rule 22 of the Andhra Pradesh
State and Subordinate Services Rules, in the order so provided.
3. The provisional selection list shall be scrutinised to ascertain the
number of local candidates finding a place in that list. If the number of
local candidates finding a place in the provisional selection list equals
or exceeds the number of posts reserved in favour of local candidates,

79
such provisional selector list shall be deemed to be final selection list.
4. If, however, on the scrutiny referred to in para 3, it is found that
the number of local candidates finding a place in the said provisional
selection list falls short of the number of vacancies reserved in favour
of local candidates, the local candidates not included in the provisional
selection list shall be arranged in order of merit in a separate list
referred to as a remainder list. Thereafter, the candidates other than
local candidates referred to as “non-local” candidates finding a place
in the provisional selection list shall be successively eliminated in
the reverse order from the bottom of such list and replaced by local
candidates selected in order of merit from the remainder list, so however,
that the provisions in the service rules for reservation of appointments
in favour of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes Backward Classes
etc., are observed to the extent that they are not in consistent with the
provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation
of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975.
This process of successive elimination of non-local candidates and their
replacement by local candidates shall be continued until the number
of local candidates in the provisional selection list equals the number
of posts reserved for such candidates. At that stage, the provisional
selection list as so modified shall be deemed to be the final selection
list.

Illustration “A” :—The total number of vacant posts, say in any
category of Lower Division Clerk in a local cadre is 101; then the number

ANNEXURE - II
Procedure for the implementation of the reservation in favour
of local candidates provided under the Andhra Pradesh Public
Employment (Organisation of Local cadre and Regulation of Direct
Recruitment) Order, 1975 in respect of any category of posts for which
a Multi-zonal cadre is organised and also in respect of the category of
Civil Assistant Surgeons where reservation in favour of local candidates
is required to be made in the prescribed ratio.
Sub-paragraph (5) of paragraph 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Public
Employment (Organisation of Local Cadre and Regulation of Direct
Recruitment) Order, 1975 provides that the State Government may
where it considers it expedient so to do and with the approved of the
Central Government, organise the posts to belonging to any of the
categories referred to in sub-paragraph (3) and (4) of that paragraph
in any department in two or more contiguous zone in to a single cadre.
The procedure set out below may be followed for selection of candidates
for recruitment to such multi-zonal candres and the category of Civil
Assistant Surgeons in the light of the provisions contained in subparagraph
(4) to (8) of paragraph 8 of the order.
2. If the number of the vacant posts in the multi-zonal cadre does not

81
exceed the number of zones for which that cadre has been organised (or
seven in the case of Civil Assistant Surgeons), the provisions relating to
reservation in favour of local candidates shall not apply to such posts.
Where, however the number of vacant posts exceeds the number of
such zones further action should be taken in the manner set out in the
following paragraph.
3. The number of vacant posts reserved in the aggregate in favour
of local candidates in relation to all the concerned local areas (zones)
shall be detrermined; this number shall be prescribed percentage of the
total vacant posts, any fraction of a post being counted as one provided
that there shall be at least one unreserved post.
4. The number of posts reserved in the aggregate in favour of
local candidates of all the concerned local area (zones) having been
determined as provided under paragraph 3, the number of such
reserved posts allocated in favour of the candidates of each of the local
areas shall then be determined. For this purpose the number of reserved
posts shall be allocated amongst the local candidates of the concerned
local areas in the ratio prescribed in the Presidential Order. While
allocating the reserved posts fractions of a post shall be adjusted by
counting the greatest fraction as one and if necessary also the greater or
remaining fractions as another and where the fractions to be so counted
cannot be selected by reason of fractions being equal the selection shall
be by lot. There shall, however be as far as possible at least one post
allocated for the local candidates in respect of each local are􀀀􄌀􁀀
5. From amongst all the eligible applicants whether such applicants
are local candidates in relation to any of the concerned local areas
or not a provisional list of selection to fill all the vacant posts shall be
drawn up. This list shall be prepared on the basis of the relative merits
of all the eligible applicants and the reservations in favour of Scheduled
Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes etc., as provided in
the relevant service rules. The candidates included in the provisional
selection list shall be arranged in order of merit of where the service
rules provide for their arrangement in the order of rotation specified
in the General Rule 22 of the Andhra Pradesh State and Subordinate
Service Rules, in that order.
6. The provisional selection list shall be scrutinised to ascertain the
J-698/7

82
number of local candidates in relation to each concerned local area that
find a place in that list. If the number of local candidates in relation to
each local area that find a place in the provisional selection list equals
or exceeds the number of posts reserved and allocated in favour of the
local candidates of each such area then such provisional selection list
shall be deemed to be the final selection list.
7. If however, on the scrutiny referred to in para 6 above it is found
that the number of local candidates in relation to any one or more local
areas falls short of the number of posts reserved in favour of the local
candidates of such local area or areas (referred to as “deficit local area
or areas”) the local candidates in relation to the deficit local area or
areas, not included in the provisional selection list, shall be arranged
in order of merit in a separate list referred to as the remainder list.
Thereafter candidates finding a place in the provisional selection list
and belonging to either of the following two categories, Viz.
(a) Non-local candidates i.e., those who are not local candidates in
respect of any of the concerned local areas ; and
(b) Local candidates of any of the concerned local area.
Who are in excess of the number of posts reserved and allocated in
favour of the local candidates of such local area shall be successively
eliminated in the reverse order from the bottom of the provision selection
list and shall be replaced by local candidates in relation to the deficit local
area or areas selected in the order of merit or in the order of rotation from
the remainder list ; so however, that the provisions relating to reservations
in favour of the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes and Backward
Classes etc., are observed to the extent that these are no inconsistent with
the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres
and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order 1995.
8. Whereas, a result of the elimination of candidates falling under
category (b) in paragraph 7 above the number of local candidates in
relation to any local area remaining in the provisional selection list has
been reduced so as to equal the number of posts reserved and allocated in
favour of the local candidates of that local area, there shall be no further
elimination of candidates in respect of that local area. Likewise, where, as a
result of the replacement by candidates from the remainder list the number

83
of local candidates in relation to any local area included in the provisional
selection list has gone up so as to equal the number of posts reserved and
allocated in favour of the local candidates in relation to that local area there
shall be no further replacement by local candidates in relation to that local
area from the remainder list. This process of successive elimination and
replacement shall continue until the number of local candidates in respect
of each deficit local area or areas, as the case may be, in the provisional
selection list equals the number of posts reserved and allocated in favour
of the local candidates in respect of such local area or areas; at that stage,
the provisional selection list as so modified shall be deemed to be the final
selection list.

Illustration ‘A’.— The total number of vacant posts in the category of
Civil Assistant Surgeon or in a multi-zonal cadre is 101. The number of
posts reserved in the aggregate in favour of local candidates in relation to
the concerned local areas will be 70 % of 101 in respect of non-gazetted
categories above lower division clerk; or 60 % of 101 in the case of Civil
Assistant Surgeons, the fraction being counted as one. Thus, the total
number of reserved posts will be 71 or 61 as the case may be. Taking the
example of the case of Civil Assistant Surgeons, these 61 posts will have
to be allocated amongst the local candidates in the relation to the seven
local areas in the prescribed ratio of 13 : 18 : 15 : 18 : 15 : 17 : 4. This
will result in an allocation of
93 98 15 98 15

(VI) 10 — and (VII) 2 — Treating the fractions in the
100 100
manner set out in paragraph above the number of posts reserved and
allocated in favour of the seven local areas will be 8, 11, 9, 11, 9, 10 and
3 respectively. If in the provisional list of selections the number of local
candidates in relation to the seven local areas is above the number of
allocated posts, say, 10, 12, 10, 12, 10, 11 and 4 ( the remaining 32 being
non-local candidates ) the provisional list shall be deemed to be the final

84
selection list.
Illustration ‘B’.— If in the case referred to under illustration ‘A’above,
the number of local candidates in relation to the I, II, III, IV, V, VI and
VII local areas, are 7, 15, 12, 9, 8, 8 and 6 respectively, (the remaining 35
being non-local candidates) the I, IV, V and VI local areas will have to the
treated as deficit local areas; the deficit being 1, 2, 1 and 2 respectively. The
number of local candidates in relation to the II, III and VII local areas has
exceeded the total number of posts reserved and allocated in favour of the
areas by 4,3 and 3 respectively. Therefore 6 candidates from almost those
who are non-local candidates or local candidates in relation to the II, III
and VII local areas will have to be eliminated from the bottom of provisional
selection list and replaced by 1 local candidate in relation to local area 1,
2 local candidates in relation to local area IV, 1 local candidate in relation
to local area V and 2 local candidates in relation to local area VI from the
remainder list. However, while there will be no restriction on the number
of non-local candidates to be eliminated from the provisional selection list,
the number of local candidates in relation to the II, III and VII local areas
who may so be eliminated in the present case shall not exceed 4, 3 and 3
respectively since after the elimination of such candidates the number of
local candidates in relation to these local areas remaining in the provisional
selection list will just equal to 11, 9 and 3 respectively i.e.,., the number of
posts reserved and allocated in favour of such candidates.
Illustration ‘C’.— If in the case referred to under illustration ‘B’, any
of the candidates who is proposed to be eliminated is a Scheduled Caste
candidate, whose replacement by a non-Scheduled Caste candidate will
violate the reservations in favour of Scheduled Castes such Scheduled Caste
candidate shall be replaced only by the first available Scheduled Caste
candidate in the remainder list who is eligible for such replacement.
Illustration ‘D’.—If in the case referred to under Illustration ‘C’above,
there is no Scheduled Caste candidate in the remainder list who is a local
candidate in relation to the deficit local area to replace the Scheduled
Castes candidate proposed to be eliminated from the provisional selection
list, the latter Scheduled Caste candidate shall not be eliminated from such
list and the non-Scheduled Caste candidate immediately above him in such
list being a candidate falling under a category liable for elimination shall
be eliminated instead.

G.O. Ms. No. 67, dated 5th February 1977.
ABSTRACT
Six Point Formula –Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation
of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975
– Review of the promotions made after the commencement of the
Order – Instructions on the Procedure – Issued .
Read the following:–
(1) G.O.Ms.No. 674, General Administration (SPF-A) Dept., dated
20-10-1975.
(2) G.O.P. No. 728, 729, General Administration (SPF-A) Dept.,
dated 1-11-1975.
(3) G.O.Ms.No. 730, General Administration (SPF-A) Dept., dated
1-11-1975.
(4) G.O.Ms.No. 731, General Administration (SPF-A) Dept., dated
1-11-1975.
The Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadre
and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 stipulates that any
appointment or promotion made after the commencement of the Presidential

102
Order i.e. with effect from 18-10-1975 and before any local cadre has
been organised under the provisions of the Order to any post, which is
required to be included in such cadre shall, within twelve months after such
organisation be reviewed and re-adjusted in accordance with the provisions
of the Order. Having regard to the Provisions of the Andhra Pradesh
Public Employment Order, 1975 instructions relating to the regulation of
direct recruitment and appointments by transfer or promotion during the
period referred to above were issued through G.Os third and fourth cited.
The following instructions are issued in regard to the scope of the review
of re-adjustment of appointments made by such direct recruitment and by
transfer or promotion.
Direct recruitment to the various categories for which preference to the
local candidates is required to be provided were ordered to be regulated
during the above period on the lines indicated below:–
(a) cases in which the existing units of appointment conform to the local
cadres specified in the Presidential Order (Example: Non-Gazetted
posts in the Revenue Department.)
In these cases temporary or regular recruitment can be freely undertaken
subject to the provisions of the Order regarding preference to local
candidates being strictly followed.
(b) Cases in which the existing units of appointment can be marginally
adjusted so as to conform to the local cadres specified in the
Presidential Order.
In these cases action as at item (a) above may be taken after the
marginal adjustments are made. If any recruitment has to be made on an
immediate basis pending such adjustment, action may be taken under item
(c) below:
(c) Cases in which the units of appointment comprise a region or group
of districts which require to be split up into districts or zones for
bringing them into conformity with the local cadres as specified in
the Presidential Order.
In such cases the appointing authorities may make a rough allocation of
the existing vacancies amongst the prospective local cadres and undertake
recruitment either temporary or regular on this basis. In making such
recruitment the provisions of the Presidential Order regarding preference

103
in favour of local candidates should be followed in respect of the vacancies
notionally allocated to each prospective local cadre. For instance, if in any
department the unit of appointment for a lower division clerk comprises 3
Districts the vacancies may be notionally allocated among the 3 District on
a rough basis so, however as would approximate the number of vacancies
which would occur in each district, and recruitment made giving the
prescribed preference to local candidates of each District. All appointments
made by such direct recruitment, whether temporary or regular, will be
provisional and subject to review and re-adjustment in accordance with

104
Paragraph 13 of the Presidential Order.
(d) Cases of State-wide Non-Gazetted categories which require to
be split up into district or zonal cadres in accordance with the
Presidential Order.
In these cases also recruitment whether temporary or regular may be
undertaken on the lines indicated under item (c) above after obtaining prior
clearance of the allocation of vacancies from the Government.
(e) Junior Engineers:
Recruitment may be undertaken on the same lines as indicated under
item (d) above.
(f) Civil Assistant Surgeons:
Recruitment, whether temporary or regular may be in conformity with
sub-paras (5), (6) and (7) of Para 8 of the Presidential Order.
(g) post belonging to specified gazetted categories other than Tahsildars,
Junior Engineers and Civil Assistant Surgeons.
Recruitment may be made under the normal rules. There is no preference
for local candidates in the case of such posts. The persons recruited may
be eventually adjusted against vacancies in different local cadres.
It is evident from the above that in respect of groups (a), (f) and (g)
no review or readjustment would be called for. In regard to group (b) also
there would be no need for any review in the event of appointments having
been made after the marginal adjustments referred to thereunder. If any
appointment had been made before such adjustment there will be marginal
need for review of such appointments in respect of this group. Review will
be mainly called for in respect of categories of posts referred to under
groups (c), (d) and (e).
Promotions/Appointments by transfer to categories required to be
organised into local cadres were ordered to be done in the following
manner:–
(a) Cases of Non-Gazetted categories in which the units of appointment
are already in conformity with the local cadres as specified in the
Presidential Order.
In such cases promotions whether temporary or regular may be made
under the rules.

105
(b) Cases of Non-Gazetted categories in which the existing units of
appointment can be marginally adjusted so as to conform to the
local cadres specified in the Presidential Order.
Action may be taken as under item (a) above after such marginal
readjustment. Where immediate appointments by promotions are necessary
pending such adjustment action may be taken as under item (c) b􀀀􄠀􄼀􅈀􅨀􁴀
(c) Cases of Non-Gazetted categories where the existing unit of
appointment is a region and where such unit has to be split up into
district or zonal cadres under the Presidential Order.
In all such cases promotions on a purely temporary basis may be made
under the normal rules. All such promotions shall be provisional and subject
to review and readjustment under Para 13 of the Presidential Order.
(d) Cases of State-wide Non-Gazetted categories.
Action may be taken to make promotions to these categories on a purely
temporary basis after obtaining prior clearance from the Government. All
such promotions shall be provisional and subject to review and readjustment
under para 13 of the Presidential Order.
(e) Cases of Tahsildars and B.D.Os.
Action may be taken on the lines indicated under item (c) above􀀀􁴀
(f) Cases of specified gazetted categories other than Tahsildars and
Block Development Officers.
Action may be taken to make promotions/appointments/transfer to these
categories on a purely temporary basis after obtaining prior clearance from
the Government. All such promotions shall be provisional and will be subject
to review and readjustment under para 13 of the Presidential Order.
It is evident from the above that there would be no need for any review
and readjustment in respect of group (a) and the need for review in respect of
group (b) will be minimal to the extent promotions have been made before the
readjustment contemplated was made. The need for review and readjustment
would mainly arise in the case of groups (c), (d), (e) and (f).
The ad-hoc rule issued in G.O.Ms.No. 741, General Administration
(SPF-A) Department dated 7-11-1975 lays down that such promotions may
be made taking into account the likely allotment of persons and vacancies
amongst the different local cadres and the likely ranking of Officers to be
allotted to the respective local cadres. This ad hoc rule had been issued
to minimise the need for readjustment after the contemplated review and

106
to avoid the complications that would arise had promotions been made in
accordance with the existing seniority lists.
Orders were issued stipulating that prior clearance from Government
should be obtained for appointments/promotions in respect of the following
categories required to be organised into local cadres.
Direct recruitment:
1. State wide Non-Gazetted categories.
2. Category of Junior Engineer.
Promotional Appointment by transfer.
3. State wide Non-Gazetted Categories.
4. Specified Gazetted categories other than Tahsildars and Block
Development Officer.
To consider the proposals in respect of all cases referred to above and
to make recommendation to Government on such appointments a Special
Appointment Committee was constituted. This was also intended to ensure
that the interim appointments and promotions were as far as possible done
in such a way as to minimise the need for their re-adjustment after the
organisation of local cadres.
The process of organisation of local cadres is required to be completed
in all respects by the 17th April, 1977. The local cadres in respect of any
category should be deemed to have come into existance within the issue of
allotment orders in respect of that category. It would therefore be necessary
to initiate the process of review as contemplated in paragraph 13 of the
Presidential Order of all appointments/promotions referred to above made
during the period from the commencement of the Order and the organisation
of local cadres.
The review of appointments by Direct Recruitment/Promotions/
Appointments by transfer in the cases referred to above may be undertaken
soon after the period of appeal against allotment to local cadres specified
in the Presidential Order is over where no appeals have been received and
where appeals against allotment have been received, after their disposal.
So far as direct recruitment is concerned, review and re-adjustment
will have to be made irrespective of whether recruitment during the interim
period was temporary or regular and whether it was through the Public
Service Commission or not. In cases where the recruitment is temporary

107
review may be made of even such temporary recruitment in terms of the
Presidential Order. In the case of appointments by Direct recruitment the
rough allocation of vacancies which was done earlier should be checked
up. The vacancies as and when filed would be the basis for working out the
percentage of posts for which preference to local candidates would require
to be made. The provision relating to preference to local candidates would
no doubt have been observed even at the time of temporary appointment.
Having regard to the safeguards adopted it is unlikely that the review
will result in the ousting of many candidates. Further, in cases where the
recruitment was undertaken on a centralised basis by the Public Service
Commission or otherwise and allocations made on a zonal basis, if, as
a result of recalculation of vacancies, a candidate becomes surplus to a
particular zone, there may be no objection to his being accommodated
in another zone where a vacancy exists where this can be done without
violating the Presidential Order. The completion of review of appointments
by direct recruitment under the Presidential Order does not automatically
imply the regularisation of temporary appointments. The regularisation
of temporary appointments made from open market has to be undertaken
as a separate exercise with reference to Service Rules applicable to the
category.
As regard promotions (and appointments by transfer) in terms of the
instructions already issued, only temporary promotions would have taken
place during the interim period and such interim promotions will have
to be review in terms of the Presidential Order. As a preliminary to the
undertaking of the review of promotions, the list of vacancies in each of
the local cadres of the category under review (treating all posts filled by
promotions made after 18-10-75 as vacant) and the seniority lists of persons
forming part of each of the local cadres in the feeder category should be got
prepared and will form the basis of the review. In this connection it may be
recalled that in the U.O.Note No. 2564/SPF-A/76-1 General Administration
department, dated 27-9-1976 it has been made clear that persons promoted
to the higher category on or after 18-10-1975, will have to be allotted in
the lower category though there would be no objection to showing such
persons as forming part of different local cadres in the higher category. It
would not be desirable to link up the review of appointments contemplated
under the Presidential Order with the question of regularisation of the
promotions. Regularisation of the temporary promotions might have been
held up in different Departments and categories, for one reason, or the other.
So the interim temporary promotions will have to be reviewed in terms of

108
the Presidential Order without waiting for any process of regularisation.
The completion of review does not also confer any right of regularisation
in respect of any individual. Regularisation will have to be undertaken
separately under the service rules applicable to the relevant category of
post.
It has been decided that while the appointing authority will be
responsible for completing the process of review and re-adjustment, the
process should be overseen by the same allotment Committees which had
advised the Government regarding the allotment of persons to different
local cadres.
In order to watch the completion of the process of review, in time as
contemplated under the Presidential Order, the Departments of Secretariat
should obtain a monthly return from each appointing authority in the
following proforma.

The progress will be reviewed every month in the meeting of Secretaries
to Government. This work of watching the progress may be done by the

The Departments of Secretariat are requested to take action to review
appointments made by Direct Recruitment or promotion or by transfer under
the Presidential Order on the lines indicated above.

O R D E R:
Paragraph 7 of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation
of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 defines a
‘Local candidate’. The present definition has given rise to certain situations
wherein some of the candidates who belong to the State of Andhra Pradesh
and who have studied or resided throughout in the State come to be regarded
as Non-Local to all the local areas within the State. In order to avoid such

110
a situation, the Government of India have since issued the Andhra Pradesh
Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct
Recruitment) Amendment Order, 1977 amplifying the said definition. This
Order came into effect on 22-2-1977. The Order has been republished in
the Andhra Pradesh Gazette Extraordinary No. 1, dated 10-3-1977 through
G.O.Ms.No. 168, dated 10-3-1977.
2. Paragraph 2, the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation
of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Amendment Order,
1977 inserts a new sub-paragraph Viz., Sub-paragraph (2) to paragraph 7
making provision for considering the claims of persons who, in terms of the
existing definition [under para 7 now renumbered as sub-para (1) thereof]
become non-local to all local areas in the State. According to sub-para
(2) (a) (i) of Paragraph 7 if such a candidate had studied in educational
institutions in the State for a period of not less than 7 consecutive academic
years ending with the academic year in which he appeared or as the case may
be, first appeared for the relevant qualifying examination or matriculation
examination whichever is lower, he shall be regarded as a local candidate in
relation to that the local area where he has studied for the maximum period
within the said seven years. In the event of period of study in two or more
local areas being equal, he shall be regarded as a local candidate in relation
to that local area where he has studied last of such equal periods.
3. Sub- para (2) (a) (ii) of Paragraph 7 of the Order applies to a
candidate who, during the whole or any part of the 7 consecutive academic
years ending with the academic year in which he appeared or as the case may
be, first appeared for the relevant qualifying examination or matriculation
examination, whichever is lower, has not studied in educational institutions
in any local area, but has resided in the State during the whole of the said 7
years. In such a case the candidate shall be regarded as a local candidate
in relation to that local area where he has resided for the maximum out of
the said seven years period. But in cases where the periods of residence
in two or more local areas, such a candidate shall be regarded as a local
candidate of the local area where he has resided last of such equal periods.
This residence test will be applied to candidates in whose cases there is a
gap in study occasioned otherwise than by the reason of failure to pass any
examination in the prescribed full term of 7 years previous to the qualifying
examination or matriculation examination, whichever is lower.
4. Sub-para (2) (b) of paragraph 7 relates to recruitment to posts
for which no educational qualification is prescribed. In such cases, a

111
candidate who is not regarded as a local candidate in relation to any local
area under sub-para (1) of para 7 shall, if he has resided in the State for
seven years immediately preceding the date on which the post is notified
for recruitment, be regarded as a local candidate of that local area where
he has resided for the maximum period out of the said seven years. Where
the period of residence in two or more local areas in equal, he shall be
regarded as local candidate of the local area where he has resided last of
such equal periods.
5. The application of the above definitions are illustrated by the examples
given in the annexure.

EMPLOYMENT (ORGANISATION OF LOCAL CADRES
AND REGULATION OF DIRECT RECRUITMENT) ORDERS
1975.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION (SPF-A) DEPARTMENT
G.O.Ms.No. 374. Dated: 20th May, 1977
Read the following:–
G.O.Ms.No. 674, Genl. Admn. Dept., dated 20-10-1975.

127
O R D E R:
Clause (c) of Sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 5 of the Andhra Pradesh
Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct
Recruitment) Order, 1975 enables the State Government to make a provision
for the transfer of a person from one local cadre to another local cadre
where no qualified or suitable person is available in the letter cadre or
where such transfer is otherwise considered necessary in the public interest.
The provisions now existing in the General, Special and Adhoc rules for
the transfer of persons, from one unit to another have been examined in the
light of the above provision. Some of the existing provisions in the Special
and Adhoc rules permit such inter cadre transfer in circumstances which go
beyond those contemplated under the Presidential Order. The Presidential
Order has thus the effect of curtailing the operation of the provisions
contained in these rules to the extent contemplated in that Order. There
are also some rules where no specific Provision for inter-cadre transfers
have been incorporated.
Government have examined the matter in all its aspects and have
decided as follows : —
(1) All provisions for inter-local cadre transfer now existing in the
Special or Ad hoc rules may be deleted;
(2) No Provision for inter-local cadre transfers need be made in any
special or Ad hoc rule that may be issued hereafter;
(3) Inter-local cadre transfers will be permitted only under the
circumstances stipulated in Clause (c) of Sub-paragraph (2)
of Paragraph 5 of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment
(Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct
Recruitment) Order, 1975; and.
(4) The power to effect inter-local cadre transfers will be exercised
by Government alone only in the circumstances stipulated under
the above provision.
An Ad hoc rule will be issued by General Administration (Services)
Department enabling Government to effect inter-local cadre transfers
under the circumstances stipulated in the Presidential Order :
All Heads of Departments are requested to ensure that no inter-local cadre
transfers are hereafter made by them or by their Subordinate Officers and
they are requested to send proposals if any for inter local cadre transfers

128
to Government.

– Alterations of Units of appointment, appointing authority etc.

4. D.O. Letter No. 2110/B1/1/76, dt. 29-10-76 from the
Chairman, Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission.
Attention of the Departments of the Secretariat is invited to the
instructions contained in G.O.P.No. 728, General Administration (SPF-A)
Department, dated 1-11-1975 under the heading “B Amendment to Service
Rules” at page 6 thereof, regarding the need for taking action to amend the
service rules to bring them in conformity with the scheme of organisation of
local cadres prepared in respect of each Department and for being given
effect to in terms of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation
of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 (herein
after referred to as the Presidential Order). As sufficient progress has been
made in the matter of implementation of the scheme for organisation of
local cadres, action has now to be taken urgently by Departments of the
Secretariat to amend the service rules to the required extent. The following

129
guidelines are issued to the Departments of the Secretariat in this regard.
Amendments to the Special and Ad hoc rules that would be necessary
as a consequence of the Presidential Order in respect of services and posts
attracted by it can be grouped under the headings as detailed b􀀀􄜀􄸀􅄀􅤀􀈀􁰀
A. Alteration of the Units of Appointment.–A local cadre contemplated
under the Presidential Order is a cadre comprising the posts belonging
to a category in a department and located within a specified part of the
State. The concept of the local cadre is thus related to the concept of the
unit of appointment under the service rules. A part of the State for which
a local cadre is organised in respect of any category will serve as a unit
of appointment for that category. The amendment that would therefore
be necessary to the Service Rules would relate to the unit of appointment
J-698/10

130
prescribed under the Special and Ad hoc rules relating to the services and
posts covered by such rules.
In some special and Ad hoc rules in respect of certain services and
posts, a specific rule relating to the unit of appointment is provided.
Where the Special or Ad hoc rules do not provide the unit of appointment,
presumably the unit of appointment is the jurisdiction of the appointing
authority specified under these rules. It has therefore been considered that
all the Special and Ad hoc rules relating to services and posts covered by
the Presidential Order should have a specific rule relating to the unit of
appointment and that the rules should now be amended to provide for units
of appointment in respect of each category of post in conformity with the
Presidential Order as contemplated in the localisation scheme. The rule for
the purpose could be as follows :
Rule No. Unit of appointment :
For purpose of recruitment, appointment, discharge for want of
vacancy, seniority, promotion, transfer and appointment as full member,
the unit of appointment shall be as specified in the table below:-
TABLE
Category/Class Post U n i t o f
Appointment
(1) (2) (3)
While making provisions in this regard the following points may be kept
in view :
(i) The unit of appointment in respect of any category of post may be
an office, a part of a district (e.g., a revenue division, Executive Engineer’s
Division, etc.,) a district, a part of a zone (e.g., Forest circle, Commercial Tax
Division, etc.), a zone or a multi-zone. Having regard to the unit which has
been decided in respect of each category in the localisation scheme action
may now be taken to provide the new unit of appointment in the manner
specified above where change is called for or where no rule relating to unit
of appointment exists at present in the rules.

131
(ii) Where each zone is proposed to be a separate unit, the districts
comprised in each zone shall be mentioned in column (3) and where the
units are multi-zones, the districts comprised in each such multi-zone shall
be indicated in that column.
(iii) Where a separate cadre for the city of Hyderabad has been required
to be organised in respect of any category, there should be a specified
provision to that effect in the rule. While making provision in column (3)
to that effect, city of Hyderabad would be mentioned in that column if it
is proposed to have only one cadre for the whole city. If, however, it is
proposed to have more than one cadre for the city of Hyderabad column
(3) may mention unit of appointment with reference to the jurisdiction of
the unit Officers, for example, for the category of Assistant Commercial
Tax Officers, the unit of appointment could be mentioned in column (3)
as the city of Hyderabad as the entire cadre of Assistant Commercial Tax
Officers in the city of Hyderabad would form one cadre under the Deputy
Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Hyderabad. But in the case of
draughtsman in the Public Health and Municipal Engineering Department of
City of Hyderabad, as the existing appointing authority is the Superintending
Engineer and as there are more than one Superintending Engineers in the
city, column (3) would be in respect of this category specify the unit with

132
reference to each of the Superintending Engineers having jurisdiction in
the city of Hyderabad.
It should also be specifically mentioned that the posts organised in
such city cadres shall be excluded from the other units of appointment in
relation to Hyderabad district or Zone VI as the case may be.
(iv) It has been ordered in G.O.P.No. 729, General Administration
Department, dated 1-11-1975, that it is the Government’s intention that
Special Offices or Establishments notified under the Presidential Order
should, as far as possible, cease to be separate units of appointment and
that posts in such special offices or Establishments should not ordinarily
be filled by direct recruitment but by drawing persons on tenure basis from
different local cadres on the equitable basis, Similar will be the position
in respect of posts in Major Development Projects. If any such Special
Office or Establishment or Major Development Project notified under the
Presidential Order is under the Existing rules, a separate unit in respect of
a particular category and where such post in that category in such Office
or establishment or Project has been taken into account for fixation of the
effective cadre strength of local cadres in respect of that category, it naturally
follows that those Offices or Establishments or Projects cease to be separate
unit in respect of that category. Any provision existing in the rules to the
contrary should be deleted. Where, whoever, the posts in respect of any
category in such Special Offices or Establishments or Major Development
Projects have not been take into account for fixation of effective strength
of local cadres in respect of that category, it follows that such Offices or
Establishments or Projects will continue to be a separate unit of appointment
in respect of that category. The amendment to the rules specifying the
unit of appointment should reflect this position and such Special Office or
Establishment or Major Development Project or part there of will have to
be specified as a unit of appointment in the Table. Such posts shall also be
specifically excluded from the posts in the local cadres.
(v) The Presidential Order has notified certain offices and institutions
as State level offices or institutions. They are separate unit of appointment
at present in respect of certain categories of posts. In respect of certain
others the posts in those Offices or Institutions are not separate units of
appointment but form part of the present State-wide or regional or lower
cadres which are being organised into local cadres.
(a) Where posts in such categories existing in the State-level offices
or institutions have been taken into account for fixing the effective strength

133
of such category in the local cadres, it follows that the State level office
or Institution ceases to be a separate unit in respect of that category. Any
provision existing the present rules specifying it as a separate unit will
have to be deleted.
(b) Where the posts in such offices or institutions do not form part of
local cadres, they will form a separate unit of appointment and posts in such
units shall be specifically excluded from posts in the local cadres.
(vi) The amendments relating to the unit of appointment shall take
retrospective effect from 18-10-1975 i.e., the date of commencement of
the Presidential Order.
B. Alteration in the Method of Appointment.
(i) Attention of the Departments of the Secretariat is invited to paragraph
10 (b) of G.O.P. No. 728, General Admn. (SPF-A) Department, dated 1-
11-1975 and Sub-paragraph (2) (b) of para 5 of the Presidential Order. The
Departments of Secretariat having Regional Offices under them, which have
been proposed under the localisation scheme to be made separate units of
appointment in respect of any category are requested to examine whether
any special provision is necessary regarding method of appointment to posts
in such offices in order to provide equitable employment and promotion
opportunities, e.g., if there is a post of Superintendent in a regional officer
exercising territorial jurisdiction over more than one zone, there is no
objection to make a special provision in the rule relating to the method
of appointment that such posts shall be filled by promotion of U.D.Cs not
only of that regional office but also from any of the corresponding zonal
cadres. Where such provision is not made in the rules it may be noted that
for promotion of Superintendents, U.D.Cs in that office only will be eligible
to be considered. Similarly posts of L.D.Cs in a Zonal Office exercising
territorial jurisdiction over more than one district but which is a separate
unit in respect of L.D.Cs may be filled by transfer of persons from any of
the cadres in that Zone by making a specific provision in the said rule to
that effect, if such a provision is considered expedient.
(ii) The method of appointment in respect of certain categories
required to be organised into local cadres make provision for appointment
to the extent specified by transfer from persons holding posts is the
Directorates, the Secretariat etc., to which the Presidential Order does
not apply. Similar provision exists to fill posts in the Directorate, etc. from

134
among persons holding posts now required to be organised into local
cadres. These provisions stand protected under sub-para (2) (a) of para 5
of the Presidential Order. If any ratio or proportion has been prescribed
for appointment to the category from among officers in the Secretariat or
Directorate that ratio or proportion will now be applied to appointments
in each of the local cadres. It may not be necessary to make any special
provisions in the rules in this regard.
Where provision exists for appointment of Officers holding posts in
local cadres in the Directorate or such other offices not covered by the
Presidential order the proportion earmarked for mofussil offices now being
organised into local cadres would remain unchanged and appointment to
those offices from the different local cadres will be required to be made
in equitable proportion. Here also there may be no need to make Special
Provision in the rules.
C. Omission or Amendment of Provision relating to inter-cadre
transfers.
Certain rules provide for transfer from one unit to the other on
request or on administrative grounds. Under sub-para 2 (c) of para 5 of the
Presidential order transfer from one local cadre to the other is permissible
only under two circumstances, viz,.–
(a) Where no qualified or suitable persons are available in a local
cadre or
(b) Where such transfer is considered necessary in the public
interest.
Government have considered the need for amendment to the existing
provisions in the Special or Ad hoc Rules relating to inter-cadre transfers
in the light of this above provisions and have decided that all provisions
existing at present regarding inter unit transfers shall be omitted and that
an Ad hoc rule may be issued enabling Government to make inter cadre
transfers under the circumstances stipulated above. The existing provisions
in this regard in the rules, therefore may be reviewed limiting provisions, if
any, to transfers within each local cadre. The attention of the Departments
in this connection is invited to orders issued in G.O.Ms.No. 374, Genl.
Admn. (SPF-A) Department, dated the 20-5-1977.
An Ad hoc rule has been issued in the G.O. third cited dispensing with
the requirement regarding consultation with the Andha Pradesh Public
Service Commission for amendments to service rules necessitated by the

135
Presidential Order. The Departments of the Secretariat may therefore amend
the rules without consulting the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission
but after consultation with the General Administration (SPF-A) Department,
General Administration (Services) Department and Law Department.
General Administration (Ser-D) Department will take action to
amend the A.P. Ministerial Services Rules in consultation with the General
Administration (SPF-A) Department and Law Department. General
Administration (Ser-D) Department will take action similarly in respect of
the Andhra Pradesh Last Grade Service Rules.
General Administration (Ser-A) Department will examine the need
for amendments, if any to the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission
Regulation and related instructions.
In view of the fact that it is the concerned S.P.F., Sections of the
Departments which will be in a position to determine the extent of
amendment to the Service Rules involved, Departments of the Secretariat
are requested to initiate proposals for amendment to the Service Rules in
the S.P.F. Sections of their Departments and thereafter refer them to the
concerned administrative sections of the Departments. The proposals may
be referred first to the General Administration (SPF-A) Department and
thereafter to the concerned service sections in General Administration
Department. Action may immediately be initiated accordingly and the entire
process completed within a period of two months.
In respect of existing categories of posts which are required to be
organised into local cadres for which there are no rules at present the
concerned administrative sections of the Departments will take action to
frame rules in conformity with the provisions of the Presidential Order.
Where rules are being made now with retrospective effect, the new units of
appointment which will be effective from 18-10-1975 may also be indicated
separately therein.
The Departments of the Secretariat are also requested to ensure that
rules that may be framed for new categories of posts being created are also
in conformity with the provisions of the Presidential Order, i.e., for all
such categories equivalent and lower than that of L.D.Cs, the unit shall be
a district or a lower unit and for all other non-gazetted categories a zone
or smaller units etc.

4. G.O.P. No. 729, G.A.(SPF.A) dt. 1-11-75.
ORDER:
The Lal Committee constituted for making recommendations on
measure for toning up of administration” has recommended, among others,
that excessive pre-occupation of the Departments of Secretariat, Heads
of Departments with routine service matters should be put an end to by
delegation of powers to the extent possible to the Heads of Departments and
in their turn to field Officers in the respective Departments. The Government
have accepted with certain modifications, the recommendations of his
Committee. The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission has also
given its concurrence for the same. Having regard to the Provisions of the
Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres and
regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order 1975 issued by the President and
the recommendations of the Lal Committee accepted by the Government,
it has been decided as follows:-
I. (a) The Heads of Departments concerned shall be the appointing
authority in respect of all the first gazetted categories of posts, in the
respective Departments.
(b) The Heads of Departments should in their turn delegate powers
of posting, transfers, sanction of leave and increments, declaration of
probation and infliction of minor punishments under the Andhra Pradesh
conduct Service (CCA) Rules in respect of gazetted categories or posts being
organised into local cadres, to regional officers, if any, in their departments
having jurisdiction over the entire zones specified in the Presidential Order.
where such delegation is not possible for the reason that the regional officers
are having jurisdiction over a part of a zone only or that their status is not
higher, limited powers of transfers, sanction of leave and increments, powers
of awarding censure and withholding of increments without cumulative
effect should alone be delegated to them.
2. Non-gazetted categories of posts belonging to the category of lower
division clerk and other categories equivalent to or lower than that of a
lower division clerk, in each department are to be organised into district
cadres and the posts belonging to other non-gazetted categories posts in

145
each department in each zone are to be organised into zonal cadres, under
the Presidential order. Hence all powers of appointing authority now being
exercised by the Heads of Departments in respect of non-gazetted categories
of posts should now be delegated to the maximum extent to field officers
depending on whether these categories are being organised into Zonal
cadres or district cadres or smaller units. The extent to which the powers
of the appointing authority can be delegated depends on the territorial set
up of each department and the jurisdiction and status of the field officers.
The following scheme of delegation should be considered keeping in view
delegation of powers to the lowest desirable and practicable level in the
department:-
(i) Where the territorial spread of the proposed Unit of appointment
of any non-gazetted category coincides with or falls entirely within the
jurisdiction of the District officer or the Regional Officer, all powers of the
appointing authority should be delegated to such officers in respect of such
categories within whose jurisdiction the unit falls.
(ii) Where the territorial spread of the proposed unit of appointment
of any non-gazetted category happens to be more than the territorial
jurisdiction of the field officers, limited powers of transfers, sanction of
leave and increments, declaration of probation, power to inflict minor
penalties, etc., should be delegated to the Officers under whose direct control
persons holding such posts work, while vesting powers of appointment,
confirmation, power of inflicting major penalties, etc., in such field officer,
if any, who has complete jurisdiction over the proposed units.
(iii) Where due to the absence of District Officers incharge of complete
districts or Regional Officers in any Department, it becomes unavoidable
to retain the powers of the appointing authority in respect of non-gazetted
categories with the Heads of Departments such powers may be vested in
the Officer of the rank next below the Head of Department in the Office
of the Head of Department retaining appellate powers only with the Head
of Department.
3. G.A. (Ser. C) Department will in the light of the proposals made by
the concerned Departments make suitable amendments to Andhra Pradesh
Civil Services (Classification Control and Appeal) Rules. All the Special
Rules, and Ad hoc rules will be amended to the extent necessary, to give
effect to the above orders, by the concerned Departments of Secretariat.
According to Article 311 of the Constitution of India, no person shall be
dismissed or removed by an authority subordinate to that by which he
was appointed. The delegation of powers under the A.P. Civil Services
J-698/11

146
(Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules shall be subject to the above
provision and the Heads of Departments and Regional Officers should keep
in view the above provision while exercising delegated powers.
4. Departments of Secretariat are informed that the changes
contemplated in the order would become effective only after necessary
amendments to the concerned rules are issued by the Departments􀀀􁀀
5. Proposals involving delegation of powers by the appointing
authority should conform to the unit of appointment under the A.P. Public
Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct
Recruitment) Order, 1975. Amendments to the relevant special / Ad hoc
rules should be issued within a period of 3 months from the date of issue of
this order and they will have to be done in consultation with G.A. (Services)
and Law Department.
6. The above orders will not automatically be applicable to the Judicial
Service Rules under the administrative control of the Andhra Pradesh
High Court. Home Department is requested to examine the desirability
of extending the scope of these orders to the Judicial Service also in
consultation with the Registrar, High Court.

4. U.O.Note No. 1876/Ser-C/77-5, Dated 8-9-1977.
Sub-paragraph (2) (c) of paragraph 5 of the Presidential Order enables
the State Government to make provision in the rules for transfer of persons
from one local cadre to another, where no qualified or suitable person is
available in the latter cadre or where such transfer is otherwise considered
necessary in the public interest.
2. Accordingly orders were issued in G.O. second cited vesting power
in Government alone to order transfers from one local cadre to another in
accordance with para 5(2) (c) of the Presidential Order. An ad-hoc rule
was also issued in the G.O. third cited in this regard. The term “public
interest” is comprehensive enough and Government are advised that the
transfer of a wife to the place of her husband who is also employed may be
considered in “Public Interest”.
3. A number of representations are being received for transfer of
wives/husbands from one local cadre to another to join their spouses. These
requests can be categorised into the following three types:
1. Both wives and husbands working in State Government/State Public
Sector Offices.
2. Either wife or husband in Central Government/Central Public sector
service and the other spouse in State Government/State Public Sector
service.
3. Either wife or husband in State Government service and the other
spouse in private employment.
It was, however, seen that a large majority of the requests are for transfer
to the city of Hyderabad cadre.
4. It would appear that the spurt in such requests is due to the fear

148
of being permanently shut out of the place where they desire to be, in view
of the localisation of cadres. While at the stage of allotment Government
may not have had the particulars relating to this aspect, in the course of
consideration of representations against allotments, such requests would
come up for consideration and could be considered favorably to the extent
feasible. This issue has been carefully considered by Government and it
has been decided that it would be more appropriate to accommodate such
requests at the stage of consideration of representations against allotment
orders rather than resort to inter cadre transfers immediately after local
cadres have been formed. It may be clarified that such transfers would be
made subject to availability of vacancy in a local cadre prior to 18-10-1975.
It has also been decided that once the process of organisation of local cadres
is completed it would more appropriate to effect such transfers only in clear
vacancies without seriously affecting the chances of promotion of persons in
the feeder local cadres. Where competing claims from the three categories
referred to in para 3 above arise the order of priority as indicated in para
3 above may be followed while considering such requests.
5. The Departments of Secretariat are requested to process the requests
for inter-local cadre transfers keeping in view the above decision.

This order has come into force on 18th October, 1975. The part of the
State for which a local cadre is organised in respect of any category
will serve as a unit of appointment etc., for that category. There have
thus been charges in the units of appointment for the various categories
of posts in the State. As a consequence of the Organisation of Local
Cadres the following points have come up for consideration:
(1) Whether the rotation under General Rule 22 (Rule of Special
Representation) should start afresh or should commence from
the turn where it last ended before the local cadre came to be
organised with effect from 18th October, 1975;
(2) Whether the carry forward vacancies may be distributed among
the new units and if so how;
(3) Whether the rotation or ratio of appointments from feeder
services provided in the concerned special/adhoc rules for
recruitment should commence from the turn where it last ended
before the local cadres came into being on 18th October, 1975
or should commence afresh? and if so;
(4) Whether carry forward vacancies if any, intended for any of
the feeder services need be apportioned among the new units;
and
(5) Whether the feeder categories which do not fall within the ambit
of the Presidential Order may be considered against vacancies
of specified categories that may arise in any unit and whether
feeder categories which fall within the ambit of the localisation
scheme may be considered against vacancies of non-specified
categories and if so how?
After careful consideration of the above points, Government hereby
issue the following instructions on each of the aforesaid point􀀀􅔀􁀀

150
Point (1) above.– Wherever there is no change in the unit of
appointment the order of rotation specified in General Rule 22 relating to
Special Representation shall continue to be followed from the turn next
after the turn at which the last appointment was made before 18th October,
1975. However, where there is change in the unit of appointment the order
of rotation specified under General Rule 22 shall start afresh with effect
from 18th October, 1975.
Point (2) above.– Para 12 of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment
(Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment)
Order, 1975 issued in G.O.Ms.No. 674, General Administration (SPF-A)
Department, dated 20th October, 1975 provides that nothing in that order
shall affect the operation of any provisions made by the State Government
or other competent authority before or after the commencement of the
Presidential Order in respect of reservation in the matter of appointment
to any posts in favour of any Backward Classes of citizens, the Scheduled
Tribes and scheduled castes so far as such provisions are not inconsistent
with the Presidential Order. General Rule 22 (f) (iii) makes a provision
for carry forward of vacancies to be filled by the appointment of these
candidates before the appointment in the order of rotation for the relevant
year are made. Therefore, the carry forward vacancies meant for Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes available on and up to 17th October, 1975 in a
unit, on that day, will have to be distributed among the newly formed units
on the basis of the effective cadre strength of each of these new cadres.
The vacancies so distributed should be filled up, out of rotation, before the
appointments are regularised with reference to the rotations to be followed
from 18th October, 1975. The carry forward vacancies, that may arise after
that date, would be filled up in each unit as per the rules in force.
Point (3) and (4) above.– As regards rotations or ratios from the feeder
categories for recruitment by transfer, there are two types of cases. For
certain services, it is stipulated in the special rules, that the appointment
by transfer shall be made from among the feeder categories following a
rotation. In such cases, it is not reserved to be filled by them necessitating
the carry forward of vacancies if suitable candidates are not available in
such feeder categories. In other cases where such carry forward has been
specifically provided in the rules, such vacancies, if any, will have to be
carried forward and distributed among the newly formed local cadres with
reference to their effective cadre strength, as in the case of carry forward
vacancies under General Rule 22. The rotation in both types of cases has
to be started with effect from 18th October, 1975, only after taking care of

151
the carry forward vacancies, where necessary. Review and readjustment
has to be made before further appointments are made in accordance with
rotations prescribed under the Rules.
Point (5) above.– If the feeder categories for any posts are under
the purview of the Presidential Order and the posts for which they are
feeder categories are outside the purview of the Presidential Order the
roster followed up to 18th October, 1975 has to be continued. If all the
feeder categories to a post and the said post are within the purview of the
Presidential Order, there will be no difficulty in the matter of preparation
of panels for each of the local cadres. If some of the feeder categories are
under the purview of the Presidential Order and some other feeder categories
are outside purview of the Presidential Order, two types of panels have
to be prepared one for the categories which are within the purview of
the Presidential Order and the other for those which are outside. To take
the example of the post of Assistant Commissioner in the Endowments
Department, Superintendents of the Commissioner’s Office which is a Statewide
category as well as Superintendents in the Mofussil Offices which are
local categories, are eligible. In respect of State-wide category there would
be no difficulty. A panel can be kept ready for every recruitment year and
as and when a vacancy meant for a transferee from a State-wide category in
any of the local cadres comes up a suitable candidate from the panel can be
drafted. But where candidates are made eligible both from the State-wide
category as well as local category, two panels should be prepared as between
the said two categories of posts which have evidently common designation,
in an equitable ratio, in accordance with a new sub-rotation that will have
to be prescribed. In such a case, when a vacancy comes up in a local cadre
and the turn is meant for a candidate from a local cadre unit, then such of
the eligible candidates of that local cadre should alone be considered. When
the next turn meant for a candidate from the State-wide category comes up
a person out of the panel for categories which are outside the purview of
the order prepared on State-wide basis will be drafted. The details in this
regard will have be to be worked out by the concerned Departments of the

152
Secretariat in consultation with the Heads of Departments with reference to
relevant service rules, keeping in view, the number of posts, and the cadre
strength of each feeder unit and prescribe a revised ratio/rotation as the
case may be. The Heads of Departments concerned will initiate action and
send suitable proposals to the administrative departments of the Secretariat
concerned who will examine the proposals in consultation with General
Administration (Services) Department and General Administration (SPF)
Department and issue amendments wherever considered necessary.

According to Para 4 (4) of the Presidential Order, any person aggrieved
by an order allotting him to any local cadre may submit a representation
to the State Government with in a period of 60 days from the date of
communication of the order. The State Government shall, on receipt of
such representation and after consultation with the appropriate Committee
constituted under sub-para (3), make such order as it deems fit. At present
the representations received by the State Government are being referred to
the concerned Allotment Committees and normally such recommendations
are being accepted by Government and orders are being issued. In one of
the cases of a Department, it has been observed that the recommendations
made by the Allotment Committee on the representations received from
some of the allottees are proposed to be deviated to some extent. When the
file was circulated to Chief Minister he has minuted as follows:

153
“It is seen that the recommendations made by the Allotment Committee
on the representations received from allottees are proposed to be
deviated to some extent. In view of this, the matter may again be
placed before the Allotment Committee for reconsideration and
revised recommendations, as is being followed in all cases where
the recommendations of the Allotment Committee are proposed to
be deviated.”
2. In view of the above orders in circulation, the Departments of
Secretariat are requested invariably to place the matter again before
the Allotment Committee concerned before final orders are obtained in
circulation and orders issued on the representations.

(3) From the Director of Handlooms & Textiles, Letter

Till now a view was taken that Government employees when they
are to be deputed to autonomous bodies or Co-operative Societies or
Corporations etc., should be from the local cadres where that Institution
is located. This will continue to be the view in future also in the matter of
deputation of employees to autonomous bodies which have jurisdiction
over a part of the State.
A question has arisen as to who among the Government employees

154
should be deputed to autonomous bodies or Co-operative Institutions or
Corporations etc., having State-wide jurisdiction.
In so for as the Government State-level Institutions or Directorates
are concerned it was laid down as a matter of policy, that when persons
are deputed to man the posts in the said offices, it should be done OR
equitable basis by drawing persons from all the local cadres of the State,
so that there will be equitable opportunities for the persons belonging to
various parts of the State.
It has now been decided that the same principle may be extended to the
deputation of persons to Co-operative Institutions and other Corporations
etc., having State-Wide jurisdiction on an equitable basis by drawing
persons from all the local cadres in the State.
The Director of Handlooms and Textiles and all other Heads
of Departments are requested to follow the above policy in future
scrupulously.

In the U.O. Notes cited (copies enclosed for ready reference)
instructions were issued that this Department may be consulted invariably
in the matters relating to alteration of territorial jurisdiction of any post

or creation of new posts in any Department or creation of new Department
and the proposals relating to gazetting any category, subsequent to the issue
of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres

2. It has been observed that certain departments have issued orders
without consulting this Department for converting offices without territorial
offices into offices with territorial units, and that new departments have been
brought into existence by bifurcation of existing departments and also have
gazetted certain non-gazetted posts without considering its implications Visa-
Vis the provisions of the said order resulting in avoidable complications
and administrative difficulties.

ORDER:
In exercise of the power canferred by clauses (1) and (2) of article 371-
D of the Constitution of India. the President has made, with respect to the
State of Andhra Pradesh, the Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions
(Regulation of Admission) Order, 1974. This Presidential Order was
published at pages 1383 to 1386 of the Gazette of India Extraordinary, PartII
Section 3, Sub-section (i) dated the 1st July, 1974. It had come into force
on the same day. The Order was re-published in Andhra Pradesh Gazette
Extraordinary dated the 3rd July, 1974, though the Government Order first
read above. A copy of the Order, as amended up-to-date is appended.
2. The Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation of

158
Admissions) Order, 1974 provides for reservation of seats in favour
of local candidates in courses of study provided by the Universities
and other educational institutions subject to the control of the State
Government. Paragraph 9 of the Order lays down that the provision of
that order shall have effect notwithstanding anything contained in any
statute ordinance, rule, regulation or other order (Whether made before
or after the commencement of the Order) in respect of admissions to any
university or any other educational institutions subject to the control of
the State Government. Paragraph 10 of the said Order, however, declares
that nothing in the Order shall affect the operation of any provision made
by the State Government or other competent authority (whether before
or after the commencement of the Order) in respect of reservations in the
matter of admission to any University or other educational institutions in
favour of women, socially and educationally backward classes of citizens,
the scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in so far as such provisions
are not inconsistent with the Order.
3. After the coming into force of the above Presidential Order with effect
from 1-7-1974, Admissions to the Educational Institutions in the entire State
are to be made in the light of the provisions of the said Order. According
to Paragraph 4 of the Order a candidate for admission to any course of
study shall be regarded as a local candidate in relation to a local are:–
(a) If he has studied in an educational Institution or educational
institutions in such local area for a period of not less than four constructive
academic years ending with the academic year in which he appeared or, as
the case may be, first appeared in the relvant qualifying examination; or.
(b) where during the whole or any part of the four consecutive academic
years ending with the academic year in which he appeared or, as the case
may be, first appeared for the relevant qualifying examination., he has not
studied in any educational institution, if he has resided in that local area
for a period of not less than four years immediately preceeding the date of
commencement of the relevant qualifying examination in which he appeared,
or, as the case may be, first appeared.
4. It must be noted that para 4 (a) as extracted above covers the
cases of those candidates who studied in an educational institution or
educational institutions for a period of not less than four consecutive
academic years ending with the academic year in which he appeared or,

159
as the case may be, first appeared in the relevant qualifying examination,
while para 4 (b) applies to the case of other candidates. For purposes of
para 4 (a) educational institution has been defined as a University or any
educational Institution recognised by the State Government, a University
or other competent authority. The eligibility of a candidate who has studied
during any part of the four years period in an un-recognised institution will
have to be dealt with under para 4 (b) While considering the eligibility of
a candidate to be regarded as a local candidate under Paragraph 4 (i) of
the Order by virtue of four consecutive years of study in a local area, it
should be noted that in reckoning the consecutive academic years of study,
any inturruption in the period of his study, by reason of his failure to pass
any examination shall be disregarded. For instance, a candidate who has
studied the IXth and Xth Classes and the Junior and senior Intermediate
Class in institutions of the same local area with a break of one year after
the Xth class on account of failure to pass the Xth class examination of the
first attempt shall be regarded as a local candidate in relation to that local
area for admission to a degree course in any institution in that area.
5. The above definition of the local candidate (As it stand until it was
amended with effect from 25-11-1976) had given rise to certain situations
wherein some of the candidates belonging to the State of Andhra Pradesh
who have studied or resided throughout within the State come to be regarded
as non-local candidates in all the local areas within the State. In order
to avoid such a situation, the Government of India have since issued the
Andhra pradesh Educational Institutions Regulation of Admissions) Second
amendment Order, 1976, amplifying the said definition in paragraph 4 of
the Order.
6. The Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation of
Admissions) Second Amendment Order, 1976 inserts a new sub-paragraph
in the said 1974 Order—Viz: sub-paragaraph (2) to Paragraph 1 thereby
making provision for considering the claims of persons, who under the old
definition would have become non-local in relation to all local areas in the
State. According to sub-para (2) (a) of para-4, after amendment, if such a
candidate has studied in educational institutions in the State for a period of
not less than seven consecutive academic years ending with the academic
year in which he appeared on, as the case may be, first appeard for the
relevant qulaifying examination, he shall be regarded as a local candidate
in relation to that local area where he had studied for the longest period
out of the said period of seven years. In the event of the periods of study

160
in two or more local areas being equal he shall be regarded as a local
candidate in relation to that local area where he studied during the last of
the s aid equal periods. Clause (b) to sub-para (2) applies to a candidate
who during the whole of any part of the seven consecutive academic years
ending with the academic year in which he appeared or as the case may
be, first appeared for relevant qualifying examination has not studied in
educational institutions in any local area, but has resided in the State during
the whole of the said seven years the candidate shall be regarded as a local
candidate in relation to that local area where he has resided for the longest
period out of the said seven year period. This residence test will be applied
to candidates in whose cases there is a gap in study, occasional otherwise
than by reason of a failure to pass in an examination, in the prescribed
full term of seven years immedately preceeding the relevant qualifying
examination. It has also been provided that where the periods of residence
in two or more local areas are equal, such a candidate shall be regarded as
a local candidate in relation to the local area where he resided last in such
equal periods. The application of the liberalised definition made through
the Second Amendment Order are illustrated by the examples given in the
Annexure-I.
7. Through the same second Amendment Order, 1976 referred to above,
Paragraph 3 of the Presidential Order has been suitably amended to clarify
that the local area relatable to the Andhra University shall also be the local
area in respect of the Nagarjuna University and that the local area relatable
to the Osmania University will also be the local area relatable to Kakatiya
University which have been established with head quarters as Kazanambur,
Guntur and Warangal respectively under the relevant University Acts,
1976.
8. “Relevant qulifying examination” has been explained in the
Presidential Order as the examination pass in which is the minimum
educational qualification for admission to the course of study for which
admission is sought. For example in the case of admission to the M.B.B.S.,
Course, the minimum educational qualification required at present is a pass
in the intermediate examination. While a candidate who possesses B.Sc.,
degree will also be eligible for admission, in order to determine whether the
candidate is a “local candidate” or not, the period of study or residence, as
the case may be, immediately before the first appeared for the Intermediate
examination along should be taken into consideration further in the case

161
of a candidate who did not pass the minimum qualifying examination in
the first attempt and therefore appeared for it more than once, the period of
study or residence has to be computed with reference to his first appearance
at such examination. candidates who do not satisfy the conditions laid down
in Paragraph 4 in relation to any local area shall not be regarded as local
candidates of the local area.
9. Having regard to the above, the Government have directed that for
the purpose of admission into educational institutions. those who claim to be
local candidates with reference to para 4 (a) or para 4 (2) (a) of the Andhra
Pradesh Edeucational Institutions. (Regulation of Admissions) Order, 1974
should produce evidence in the form of study certificates issued by the Heads
of the educational institutions concerned indicating the details of the year
or years in which the candidate has studied in an educational institution
or institutions in such local area for a period of not less than four or seven
consecutive academic years ending with the academic year in which he
appeared or, as the case may be first appeared in the relevant qualifying
examination. Those who do not qualify as local candidates under para 4 (1)
(a) or 4 (2) (a) but claim to qualify by virtue of residence under para 4 (1)
(b) and para 4(2) (b) of the said Order should produce a certificate issued
by an Officer of the Revenue Department not below the rank of Tahsildar
in the form annexed vide. Annexure-II.
10. The Government have carefully considered the manner of
implementation of reservation in favour of local candidates provided in
the Presidential Order taking into account the provisions made in respect
of reservation in favour of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes, Backward
Classes, Women etc., in the State and have directed that the procedure
set out in the two annexures should be followed in the implementation of
the reservations in favour of local candidates provided under the Order,
Annexure-III and this Government Order will regulate admission to
non-state-wide Universities and non-state-wide educational Institutions
subject to the control of the State Government while Annexure-IV will
regulate admissions to State-wide Universities and State-wide Educational
Institutions. The Registrars of Universities in the State the Director of
Pablic Instrustion is, Director of Technical Education. Director of Medical
and Health Services, Director of Indian Medicine and the Director of
Employment and Training were requested to issue suitable instructions to all
the educational institutions under their control to follow the procedure laid
J-698/12

162
down in Annexures-III and IV in the matter of admission of local condidates
in pursuance of the Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation
of Admissions) Order, 1974.
11. As clarifications were being sought on the question as to who should
be considered eligible to apply as candidates belonging to the State of
Andhra Pradesh for the purpose of admission to courses of studies offered by
the educational institutions, subject to the control of the State Government,
against the 15% of the availabale seats kept un-reserved in terms of the
Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions) Order,
1974 the Government after careful consideration have directed that the
following categories of candidates may be treated as eligible to apply for
admissions to educational institutions in the State, subject to the control
of the State Government, as candidates belonging to the State of Andhra
Pradesh against the 15% of the available seats left unreserved in terms of
the Presidential Order:
(i) All local candidates defined in the Presidential Order.
(ii) Candidates who have resided in the State for a total period of ten
years excluding periods of study outside the State or either of whose parents
have resided in the State for a total period of ten years excluding periods
of employment outside the State.
(iii) Candidates who are children of parents who are in the employment
of this State or Central Government, Public Sector Corporations, Local
Bodies, Universities and other similar quasi-public institutions within the
State, and
(iv) Candidates who are spouses of those in the employment of this
State or Central Government, Public Sector Corporations, Local Bodies,
Universities and educational institutions recognised by the Government a
University or other competent authority and similar other quasi-Government
institutions within the State.
12. It has been decided that persons in the employment of this State or
Central Government Public Sector Corporations, Local Bodies, Universities
and other similar Quasi-Public institutions, within the State may be treated
as eligible to apply for admission to the part-time course of study offered
by the educational institutions in the State subject to the control of the State
Government as candidates belonging to the State of Andhra Pradesh.
13. The Government consider that in the large majority of cases

163
falling under the above categories, “nativity” may not be in doubt. The
Heads of Educational Institutions or other admission authorities may call
for appropriate certificates of study/residence or employment in cases of
doubt.
14. In pursuance of the instructions in the Memo eighth cited that a
consolidated, single, self contained order, in supersession of all previous
instructions on the subject may be issued which should be a comprehensive,
self contained and unequivocal order avoiding reference to the previous
Order, these orders are issued in regard to the circulars on Andhra Pradesh
Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions) Order, 1974.

ANNEXURE - I.
Example 1:–
‘A’studied for 3 years in the Andhra University local area, for 2 years
in the Osmania University local area, and again for 2 years in the Andhra
University local area immediately proceeding the qualiying examination.
He does not qualify himself as a local candidate of any local area in the
State Under para 4 (1) of the Order. He will therefore be treated as a local
candidate of the Andhra University local area since he has studied for
the longest period of 5 years within a period 7 years before the relevant
qualifying examination in that local area. Vide paragraph 4 (2) (a) (i).
Example 2:–
‘B’studied for the first 3 years in Andhra University local area next 3
years in the Osmania University area and thereafter 1 year in the
Sri Venkateswara University local area. He does not qualify
himself as a local candidate of any local area in the State under para 4
(1) of the Order. He will therefore be treated as a local candidate of the
Osmania University local area as in the last of the two equal periods within
the relevant period of 7 years he studied in that local area vide para 4 (2)

NON-STATE-WIDE UNIVERSITIES AND OTHER NON-STATE
WIDE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS (WHICH ARE SUBJECT
TO THE CONTROL OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT)

167
1. The number of “available seats”in the course of study shall first
be computed by deducting from the total number of seats provided in
that course, the number of seats reserved for candidates from outside
the State.
2. The number of seats reserved in favour of local candidates in
relation to the local area in respect of the University or other educational
institution concerned shall then be determined, this number shall be
85% of the available seats, any fraction of a seat being counted as one
provided that there shall be at least one unreserved seat.
3. From amongest all eligible applicants, whether such applicants
are local candidates or not, a provisional list of admission to file all the
available seats shall be drawn up. This provisional list shall be prepared
on the basis of the relative merits of all eligible applicants and the
reservations in favour of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, back ward
classes women etc., as provided under the relevant rules of admission..
The Candidates included in the provisional admission list shall be
arrange in order of merit or where the rules of admission provide for
their arrangement if any other order, in the order so provided.
4. The Provisional admission list shall be scrutinised to asertain the
number of local candidates finding a place in that list. If the number of
local candidates finding a place in the provisional admission list equals
or exceeds the number of seats reserved in favour of local candidates,
such provisional admission list shall be deemed to be the final admission
list.
5. If, however, on the scrutiny referred to in para 4, it is found that
the number of local candidates finding a place in the said provisional
admission list falls short of the number of seats reserved in favour of
local candidates, the local candidates not included in the provisional
admission list shall be arranged in order of merit in a separate list
referred to as a Reminder List. Thereafter, the candidates other than
local candidates (referred to as “non-local” candidates) finding a
place in the provisional admission list shall be succesively eliminated
in reverse order from the bottom of such list and replaced by local
candidates selected in order of merit from the Remainder List, so,
however, that the provisions in the rules of admission for reservation
in favour of schedule castes, scheduled tribes, backward classes, women
etc., are observed to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the

168
provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation
of Admissions) Order, 1974. This process of suceessive elimination of
non-local candidates and their replacement by local candidates shall
be continued until the number of local candidates in the provisional
admission list equals the number of seats reserved for such candidates.
At that stage, the provisional admission list as so modified shall be
deemed to be the final admission list.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Illustration ‘A’:– The number of available seats in a course
of study is 101, then the number of seats reserved in favour of local
candidates will be 85% of 101 with the fraction being counted as one.
Thus the number of seats reserved in favour of local candidates will be
86. If in the provisional admission list the number of local candidates
equals or exceeds 86 such provisional Admission list shall be deemed
to tbe he final admission list.
Illustration ‘B’:– If, in the case referred to under illustration ‘A’
the number of local candidates in the provisional admission list in 84
the non-local candidates at the bottom of the provisional admission
list shall be eliminated and replaced by 2 local candidates from the
Remainder list. The Provisional list so modified shall be deemed to be
the final admission list.
Illustration ‘C’:– If in the case referred to under illustration ‘B’
above one of the non-local candidates at the bottom of the provisional
admission list who is proposed to be climinated is a Scheduled Caste
candidate whose replacement by Non-Scheduled Caste candidate will
violate the rule of reservation in favour in favour of Schedule Castes,
such non-local Scheduled Caste candidates shall be replaced by the
first available local Scheduled candidates in the Remainder list.
Illustration ‘D’ :–If in the case referred to under illustration ‘C’,
above, it is found that there is no local Scheduled Caste candidates
available in the Remainder list to replace the non local scheduled
caste candidate, then the non-local Scheduled Caste candidate in the
provisional admission list shall be allowed to remain in such list and
the non-local non-Scheduled Caste candidate immediately above him
in such list shall be eliminated and replaced by a local candidate from
the remainder list.

ANNEXURE IV.
PROCEDURE FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESERVATION
IN FAVOUR OF LOCAL CANDIDATES PROVIDED UNDER
THE ANDHRA PRADESH EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
(REGULATION OF ADMISSIONS) ORDER, 1974 IN RESPECT OF
STATE-WIDE UNIVERSITIES AND STATE, WIDE EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS (WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO THE CONTROL OF
THE STATE GOVERNMENT).
1. The number of available seats in the course of study shall first be
computed by deducting from the total number of seats provided in that course
the number of seats reserved for candidates from outside the St􀀀􄌀􅘀􄜀􁀀
2. If the number of available seats does not exceed 3 the provisions
relating to reservation in favour of local candidates shall not apply to such
course. Where, however, the number of a vailable seats exceeds 3 further
action should be taken in the manner set out in the following p􀀀􄌀􅐀􄌀􄤀􅐀􄌀􅈀􄨀􁀀
3. The number of seats reserved in the aggregate in favour of local
candidates in relation to all the three University local areas, namely the
Andhra University area, the Osmania University area and Sri Venkateswara
University area shall be determined, this number shall be 85% of the
available seats, any fraction of a seat being counted as one, provided that
there shall be atleast one unreserved seat.
4. The number of seats reserved in the aggregate in favour of local
candidates of all the three University areas having been determined as
provided under paragraph 3, the number of such reserved seats allocated
in favour of the candidates of each of the three University areas shall then
be determined. For this purpose the number of reserved seats shall be
allocated amongst the local candidates of the Andhra University, Osmania
University and Sri Venkateswara University local areas in the ration of 42:
36: 2 respectively. While allocating the reserved seats, fractions of a seat
shall be adjusted by counting the greatest fraction as one and if necessary
also the greater of remaining fractions as another, and where the fraction
to be so counted cannot be selected by reason of fractions being equal, the
selection shall be by lot. There shall however be atleast one seat allocated
for the local candidates in respect of each local area.
5. From amongst all the eligible applicants whether such applicants

170
are local candidates in relation to any of the three University local areas or
not, a provisional list of admissions to fill all the available seats shall be
drawn up. This list shall be prepared on the basis of the relative merits of
all the eligible applicants and the reservations in favour of scheduled castes,
scheduled tribes, backward classes, women etc., as provided in the relevant
rules of admission. The candidates included in the provisional admission list
shall be arranged in order of merit or where the rules of admission provide
for their arrangement in any other order, in the order so provi􀀀􄘀􄜀􄘀􁀀
6. The provisional admission list shall be scrutinised to ascertain the
number of local candidates in relation to each University local area that
find a place in that list. if the number of local candidates in relation to each
University area that find a place in the provisional admission list equals or
exceeds the number of seats reserved and allocated in favour of the local
candidates of each such area then such provisional admission list shall be
deemed to be the final admission list.
7. If, however, on the scrutiny referred to in para 6 above it is found
that the number of local candidates in relation to any one or more University
areas falls short of the number of seats reserved in favour of the local
candidates of such University area or areas (referred to as “deficit University
area or areas”) the local candidates in relation to the deficit University area
or areas, not included in the provisional admission list, shall be arranged in
order of merit in a separate list referred to as the remainder list. Thereafter
candidates finding a place in the provisional admission list and belonging
to either of the following two categories, viz.,
(a) Non-local candidates (i.e., those who are not local candidates in
respect of any of the three University areas; and
(b) Local candidates of any University area who are in excess of the
number of seats reserved and allocated in favour of the local candidates
of such University area shall be sucessively eliminated in reverse order
from the bottom of the provisional admission list and shall be replaced by
local candidates in relation to the deficit University area or areas selected
in order of merit from the Remainder list; so however, that the provisions
relating to reservations in favour of Schedule Castes, Scheduled Tribes,
Backward Clases, women etc., are observed to the extent that these are not
inconsistent with the Andhra Pradesh Educational Institution (Regulation
of Admission) Order, 1974.

171
Whereas a result of the eliminationof candidates falling under category
(b) above the number of local candidates in relation to any University area
remaining in the provisional admission list has been reduced so as to equal
the number of seats reserved and allocated in favour of the local candidates
of that University area, there shall be no further elimination of candidates in
respect of that University area. Likewise where as a result of the replacement
by candidates from the reminder lift the number of local candidates in
relation to any University area included in the Provisional admission list
has gone up so as to equal the number of seats reserved and allocated in
favour of the local candidates in relation to that University area, there shall
be no further replacement by local candidates in relation to that university
area from the reminder list. This process of successive elimination and
replacement shall continue until the number of local candidates in respect of
each deficit University area or areas, as the case may be, in the provisional
admission list equals the number of seats reserved and allocated in favour
of the local candidates in respect of such University area or areas; at that
stage, the provisional admission list as so modified shall be deemed to be
the final admission list.
ILLUSTRATION
Illustration ‘A’:– The number of available seats in a course of
study is 101. The number seats reserved in the arregate in favour of local
candidates in relation to all the three University local areas viz., Andhra
University, Osmaina University and Sri Venkateswara University will
be 85% of 101, the fraction being counted as one. Thus the total number
of reserved seats will be 86. These so 86 seats will have to be allocated
amongst the local candidates in relation to the three University areas
in the ratio of 42 : 36 : 22. This will result in an allocation of 36 12 ,
30 96 and 18 92 Treating the 100 100 100
fractions in the manner set out in paragraph 4 above, the number of
seats reserved and allocated in favour of Andhra, Osmania and Sri
Venkateswara University areas will be 36, 31 and 19 respectively. If
in the provisional list of admission the number of local candidates in
relation to the three University areas is 38, 34 and 22, (the remaining
7 being non-local candidates) the provisional list shall be deemed to be
the final admission list.
Illustration ‘B’:– If, in the case referred to under illustration

172
‘A’ above, the number of local candidates in relation to the Andhra,
Osmania and Sri Venkateswara University areas, are 38, 29 and
18 respectively, (the remaining 16, being non-local candidates) the
Osmania and Sri Venkateswara University local areas will have
to be treated as deficit University areas, the deficit being 2 seats in
respect of the Osmaina University area and one seat in respect of Sri
Venkateswara University area. The number of local candidates in
relation to the Andhra University area has exceeded the total number
of seats reserved and allocated in favour of that University area by
two. Therefore, three candidates from amongst those who are non-local
candidates or local candidates in relation to the Andhra University area
will have to be eliminated from the bottom of provisional admission list
and replaced by two local candidates in relation to Osmania University
area and one candidate in relation to Sri Venkateswara University area
from the Remainder list. However while there will be no restriction on
the number of non-local candidates to be eliminated from the list, the
number of local candidates in relation to the Andhra University area
who may so be eliminated in the present case shall not exceed two since
after the elimination of 2 such candidates the number of local candidates
in relation to Andhra University area remaining in the provisional
admission list will just equal 36 i.e., the number of seats reserved and
allocated in favour of such candidates. Therefore if the last 3 candidates
at the bottom of the provisional admission list are all local candidates
in relation to the Andhra University area, the last 2 from the bottom
shall alone be eliminated and the 3rd candidate to be eliminated shall
be the last non-local candidate in the provisional admission li􀀀􅔀􅘀􁀀
Illustration ‘C’ :– If in the case referred to under illustration ‘B’
any of the candidates who is proposed to be eliminated is a Schedule
Caste candidate, whose replacement by a non-Scheduled Caste
candidate will violate the rule of reservation in favour of Scheduled
Castes such Scheduled Caste candidate shall be replaced only by the
first available Scheduled Caste candidate in the Remainder list who is

173
eligible for such replacement.
Illustration ‘D’: – If in the case referred to under Illustration ‘C’
above there is no Scheduled Caste candidate in the Remainder list who
is a local candidate in relation to the deficit University area to replace
the Scheduled caste candidate proposed to be eliminated from the
Provisional admission list, the later Scheduled Caste candidate shall
not be eliminated from such list and the non-Scheduled Caste candidate
immediately above him in such list being a candidate falling under a
category liable for elimination, shall be eliminated instead.

ORDER :
Para 5 (2) of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation
of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 reads
as follows :
“5(2) Nothing in this order shall prevent the State Government from
making provision for :
(a) the transfer of a person from any local cadre to any office or
establishment to which this order does not apply, or vice-versa;
(b) the transfer of a person from a local cadre comprising posts in any
office or establishment exercising territorial–jurisdiction over a
part of the State to any other local cadre comprising posts in such
part or vice-versa; and
(c) the transfer of a person from one local cadre to another local cadre
where no qualified or suitable person is available in the latter
cadre or where such transfer is otherwise considered necessary
in the public interest.
An ad-hoc rule was issued in the G.O. third read above to provide for
the provisions contained in para 5(2) (c) of the above order.
As the provisions in the above Order and the ad-hoc rule do not provide
for effecting transfers from one local cadre to another on grounds other
than those mentioned in item (c), the Government of India was requested
to amend the Presidential Order to provide for mutual transfers from one
local cadre to another. The Government of India have accordingly inserted
a new clause (d) to sub-para (2) of paragraph 5 of the Presidential Order
which reads as follows:
“(d) the transfer of a person from one local cadre to another local cadre
on a reciprocal basis, subject to the condition that the person so transferred
shall be assigned seniority in the latter cadre with reference to the date of
his transfer to that cadre.”
There is no provision in any service rule on the lines of the provision
(d) inserted in the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of

189
Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order by the amending
order, 1981. Therefore in order to give effect to this provision in the above
order, the following amendment to the ad-hoc rule is issued.
The following notification shall therefore be published in the Andhra
Pradesh Gazette.
NOTIFICATION
In exercise of the powers conferred by the proviso to article 309 of the
Constitution of India and of all other powers hereunto enabling, the Governor
of Andhra Pradesh hereby makes the following amendment to the Ad-hoc
rule issued in the notification in G.O.Ms.No. 569, General Administration
(Services-A) Department, dated the 22nd August, 1977, namely:
AMENDMENT
For the said Ad-hoc rule, the following Ad-hoc rule, shall be substituted,
namely:
“Notwithstanding anything in the Andhra Pradesh State and
Subordinate Services Rules, or the Special or the Ad-hoc rules, transfer of a
person holding post in a category organised into local cadre, under paragraph
3 of the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres
and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 as amended, from one
local cadre to another may be made by the Government.
(a) against a vacancy where no qualified or suitable person is available
in the later cadre or where such transfer is otherwise considered
necessary in the public interest; and
(b) on reciprocal basis, subject to the condition that transferee shall
be assigned seniority with reference to the date of transfer in the
cadre to which he is transferred.

Sub:- Six Point - Formula - Andhra Pradesh Public Employment
(Organisation of Local cadres and Regulation of Direct
Recruitment) Order, 1975 - Transfer of persons from one local
cadre to another - Transfer of spouses of Govt., Servants in
Public Interest - Instructions - Issued.

(3) U.O. Note No. 949/SPF.A/81-1, G.A. (SPF.A) Dept., dt.
25-9-81.
The Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres
and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 which is commonly
called as the Presidential Order, puts restrictions of transfer of employees
from one local cadre to another. However, paragraph 5(2) (c) of the said
Order enables the State Government to make a provision for the transfer
of a person from one local cadre to another local cadre where no qualified
or suitable person is available in the latter cadre or where such transfer is

191
otherwise considered necessary in Public Interest. Accordingly an ad-hoc
rule was issued by the State Government in the G.O. 1st cited, to enable
transfers of persons from one local cadre to another under the conditions
mentioned above. The powers to effect such inter-local cadre transfers have
also been vested in Government. The term ‘Public Interest’ being very
comprehensive, it has been clarified in G.O.P. 2nd cited, that the transfers
on account of A, C, B, enquiries etc., may be treated as in ‘Public Interest’.
Instructions were later issued in U.O. Note 3rd cited, that transfers of persons
to bring husband and wife, when both are employees, to one place may also
be treated as in ‘Public Interest’ to be brought within the ambit of the above
ad-hoc rule. Thus transfers from one local cadre to another are being made
only when no qualified or suitable person is available in the latter cadre
or in ‘Public Interest’in the case of A. C. B or departmental enquires or to
bring spouses to one place. In the matter of transfer of spouses the following
order of priority was laid down.
(1) Both wives and husbands working in State Govt./State Public
Sector Offices.
(2) Either wife or husband in Central Govt./Central Public Sector
Service and the other spouse in State Govt. Service.
(3) Either wife or husband in State Govt. Service and the other
spouse in Private employment.
As already stated earlier these transfer have to be approved by Govt. In
the case of non availability of qualified and suitable hands in a particular
local cadre there has been no particular difficulty for the transfer from
another local cadre as the departments have been exploring the possibility
of finding suitable persons in the concerned local cadre before resorting
to such transfers. There has been no difficulty for transfers in the case of
employees where the husband and the wife are in service either under the
State Government or Central government. While examining the cases of
transfers where one of the spouses is in private employment and the other
in the State Government Service, it was seen that the private employment
was in a small single concern or in small shops or with private doctors
etc. Since there has been no particular definition of private employment in
the instructions issued by this Department. It was found that in one of the
case the wife was stated to be employed as a Daya with a private doctor, in

192
another case the wife was said to be a booking clerk in one of the theatres
in the Hyderabad city and in yet another case the wife was stated to be a
grading worker in a Tobacco Company in one of the coastal districts. The
requests for transfers in such cases are accompanied by certificates from
the concerned private employers. In some of the cases the spouse was
in private employment only for a few months by the time the request for
transfer was made.
While there is no provision at present for a Government employee to
ask for a transfer from one local cadre to another on the ground that his/
her spouse is a practicing advocate or doctor or self employed in business
etc., there is scope for the existing provision for transfer of an employee
from one local cadre to another on the ground that his/her spouse is in
private employment being misused. One cannot be sure that the certificate
of employment produced is a genuine one. It is also possible that one may
take up some job and leave it after his/her spouse is transferred. In some
cases the nature of job is such that it could be taken up by his/her spouse
at the place where the employee is working instead of asking for a transfer
to the place where the spouse is in private employment.
The Govt. therefore direct that the transfer of State Govt. employees
from one local cadre to another should be confined to cases where spouses
are employed under the State Govt., Central Govt., State Public Sector or
Central Public Sector only and in all such cases in minimum of two years
service may be insisted before requests for such transfers are considered.
In other words, requests for such transfers on the ground that either wife or
husband is in State Govt., service and the other spouse in private employment
need not be considered. These Instructions should be deemed to have
modified the earlier Instructions on the subject to the extent necess􀀀􄐀􅔀􅰀 .

2. Instances have come to the notice of the Government where certain
posts which were reserved for local candidates were filled by non-local
candidates on the ground that the local candidates were not readily
available. The Departments concerned do not seem to have followed the
provisions of Presidential Order referred to above for carrying forward
such vacancies for a period of 3 years or made any attempts to fill up such
posts by local candidates during the carry forward period.
3. For filling up the carry forward vancancies meant for local
candidates of different local areas, Government have decided to conduct
limited recruitment on the analogy of the scheme in vogue for conducting
limited recruitment for filling up such carry forward posts meant for
S.Cs. and S.Ts.
4. The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission will undertake
limited recruitment in respect of all categories of posts which are within
its purview where there has been shortfall in the representation of the
local candidates.
5. The Heads of Departments and other appointing authorities shall
also undertake limited recruitment in respect of posts which are outside
the purview of the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission.
6. The method of selection of candidates to be adopted for the limited
recruitment shall be the same as the method normally adopted for the
General recruitment.

* * * *
The attention of all Heads of Departments is invited to the orders
issued in the G.O. cited wherein an adhoc rule has been issued under
Article 309 of the Constitution empowering the State Government to effect
inter-local cadre transfers under the provisions of Para 5(2)(c) & (d) of the
APPE (OLC & RDR) Order, 1975 according to which Government alone
are competent to effect such transfers. Of late, it has been noticed that
certain appointing authorities under the control of Heads of Departments
and the Heads of Departments as appointing authorities are issuing interlocal
cadre transfer orders and approaching the Government at a later date
seeking ratification of their orders. The transfers so effected are without
any competancy and not in a confirmity with the orders issued in the G.O.
cited. So the question of ratification of such orders by the Government does
not arise.
All Heads of Departments are therefore requested not to resort to the
practice of issuing the inter-local cadre transfer orders without obtaining
prior orders of the Government. Any such orders issued by them previously
without referring to Government are in violation of the provisions of the
Presidential Order and are liable to be cancelled with immediate effect
and the persons so transferred have to be sent back to their respective
local cadres.
The above instructions should be scrupulously followed. Any lapses
will be viewed seriously and necessary action taken according to the rules
is force.
The receipt of this memo may please be acknowledged.

Sub:- Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of
Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order,
1975—Arriving at number of posts to be reserved—Certain
clarification—Issued.
Ref:- 1. G.O.Ms. No. 674, G.A.(SPF-A), Dept., dated, 20-10-1975.
2. G.O.P. No. 729 G.A. (SPF-A) Dept., dt. 1-11-1975.
All the Departments of Secretariat are aware that para 8 of the Order
first cited provides for reservation in the matter of direct recruitment. In
para 14 of the G.O. 2nd cited, a clarification has been issued as to how
to arrive at the number of posts to be reserved or allocated. It is noticed
that some appointing authorities appear to be under the impression that
the vacancies remaining after excluding those meant to be filled by local
candidates, in any local cadre, are meant to be filled only by non-local
candidates. In this connection, it is further clarified that sub-para (8) of
para 8 of the Presidential Order provides that notwithstanding anything
contained in the other provisions of that paragraph, (a) there shall be atleast
one post unreserved out of the posts to be filled by direct recruitment at any
time to any local cadre and (b) there shall, be, as far as possible, atleast
one post allocated for the local candidates in respect of each local area.
As long as the number of posts to be filled at a particular point of time is
more than one, the number of vacancies meant for local candidates and
those to be treated as unreserved should be worked out and if the number
to be treated as unreserved works out to less than one, it should be counted
as one by the application of Clause (a) of sub-paragraph (8) of para 8 of
the Presidential Order.
2. The term “unreserved” does not mean that the post is meant for
non-local candidates only. An ‘unreserved’ vacancy can be filled up by a

209
‘local’or a ‘non-local’candidate with reference to merit and other relevant
considerations under the Service Rules concerned. At any given time where
there is only one post meant for direct recruitment, it has to be treated
as unreserved by the application of clause (a) of sub-paragraph (8) of
Paragraph 8 of the Presidential Order.
3. Clause (b) of sub-paragraph (8) of paragraph 8 of the Presidential
Order applies to allocation of posts to local candidates in the matter of
direct recruitment to posts in a multi-zonal cadre or to the posts of Civil
Assistant Surgeons. The use of the term ‘allocation’in this clause is a clear
indicator that this clause (b) applies only to the local cadre where local
candidates of more than one local area relatable to that cadre are to be
recruited. According to the present provisions of the Presidential Order, the
allocation of posts in the matter of direct recruitment arises only in the case
of Civil Assistant Surgeons and some non-gazetted categories, which have
been organised into multi-zonal cadres and for which there is provisions
for direct recruitment.

All the Departments of Secretariat are aware that a ‘One Man
Commission’was constituted in G.O. Ms. No. 464 G.A. (SPF.A) Dept., dt. 3-
8-84 to examine the grievances in regard to any lapses in the implementation
of the Six Point Formula in relation to public employment and providing
equitable employment opportunities in the three regions of the State and
to sugguest measures to ally misgivings and also to recommend such
ameliorative and corrective steps as may be required to ensure equitable
opportunities in the matter of public employment and implementation of the
SPF . The Commission has observed that many of the Officers and Staff who
were earlier associated with the implementation of the Presidential Order
issued in G.O.Ms.No.674 G.A.D (SPF.A) dt. 20.10.75 in various departments
are no longer dealing with the subject and those that are at present dealing
with it are not sufficently posted with the necessary information, that many
amendments were issued to the Presidential Order sebsequent to 20.10.75
and also to the instructions of the Government and that it is therefore
necessary that the Government should issue an explanatory circular to all
concerned giving back ground and the basic features of the Presidential
Order as also those of the instructions issued bythe Government for its
implementation.

211
After careful consideration of the recommendation of the ‘One Man
Commission’the salient features of the Presidential Order are elucidated
as follows:
In the wake of the agitations in the Telangana and Andhra areas of
the State in the years 1969 and 1972 respectively, the leaders of the State,
in consultation with the Central leaders, evolved the Six Point Formula
with the object of promoting balanced development of the State as a whole
and to provide equitable opportunities to different areas of the State in the
matters of education, employment and career propospects in the public
services. The formula was issued in the form of a statement by the leaders
of Andhra Pradesh on 21st Sepetember, 1973 and it was elaborated in
another statement on 22nd October, 1973. In so far as the public services
are concerned the formula stipulates that, subject to the requirements of
the State as a whole, local candidates should be given preference to a
specified extent in the matter of direct recruitment to (1) non-gazetted posts
(Other than in the Secretariat, offices of the Heads of Departments, other
State level Departments and institutions and Hyderabad City Police) : (2)
Correspoinding posts under the local bodies; and (3) the posts of Tahasildars,
Junior Engineers and Civil Assistant Surgeons. It also envisages that, in
order to improve promotion prospects, service cadres should be organised
to the extent possible on apprepriate local basis upto specified gazetted
levels, first or second as may be administratively convenient.
In the statement of 22nd October, 1973 the formula was elaborated as
follows in respect of public services.
“In regard to services, the basic approach is that the people of different
areas should have equitable employment and career prospects. The
concepts of local candidates and local areas are inter-related because local
candidates will be identified with reference to a local area. In specifying any
local areas, it should not be necessary to go below the level of a district. For
recruitment to Class-IV posts and posts of L.D.Cs and equibalent posts in
district offices, the district is the local area. For other categories of posts,
it whold be desirable to group contiguous districts into divisions.
“A local candidate can be a person residing in the concerned local
area or who has studied in an institution situated in that area leading
to the educational qualifications prescribed for the post of a pass in the
Matriculation/Equivalent Examination whichever is lower. In casses where

212
no educational qualifications are at all required, residence can be the only
text. In other cases, it may be advantageous to adopt the criterion of study
in a local institution. Where necessary either of the criteria could also be
adopted enquiring, however, that a candidate is not regarded as belonging
to more than one local area. To obviate hardship, suitable exemptions
will require to be formulated. The minimum period of residence or study
in a local institution should be reasonable, neither being illusory nor
excessive.
“The extent of preference for local candidates should in no case be
100%. In case of Class IV posts, it can be 80%. For all other non-gazetted
posts, the extent of preference should be 70% and for gazetted posts it
should be 60%. It will, however, have to be borne in mind that substantial
employment potential may develop in different local areas on account of
major development projects. These will have to be equitably shared between
different areas in the State and special arrangements for this purpose may
be neccessary. Suitable remedical measures will have to be devised in
cases where the institution of revised administrative arrangements affect
the employment of the candidates from the twin cities.”
3. In order to give effect to the formula, Art. 371-D was inserted in the
Constitution (32nd Amendment) Act, 1973. This Article in the Constitution
provides for the issue of orders by the President of India to give effective
to the various points in the formula including those relating to services.
4. The President of India accordingly issued, in GSR 524/E dt.
18.10.1975 the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local
Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975 (herein-after
referred to as Presidential Order or Order) giving effect to the formula in
respect of public services. This order provides for the organisation of local
cadres in respect of posts under the Government of Andhra Pradesh and for
the allotment of persons holding such posts to the local cadres so organised
and for the reservation in favour of local candidates in the matter of direct
recruitment to posts under the State Government and in the local authorities
in the State. This order came into force from 18.10.1975, the date of issue
of the order. The salient features of the above Presidential Order are given
below:
5. The Presidential Order applies to posts under the State Government
and Local authorities under the control of the State Government. The State
Government are required to organise within a period of twenty seven months

213
from the commencement of the Order, classes of posts in the civil services
of and classes of Civil posts under the State, into different local cadres
for different parts of the State to the extent and in the manner indicated
below:-
(a) Lower Division Clerks and other Post belonging to each such
cate
categories of posts equivalent to gory in each department in each
or lower than a lower division dist. shall be organised into a
sepa
clerk. rate local cadre which may be
briefly refferred to as a dist.
cadre.
(b) Non-Gazetted categories other Posts belonging to each such
cate- than those referred to against
gory in each zone in each Depart
item (a) ment shall be organised into a
separate local cadres which may be briefly referred to as a Zonal
cadre.
(c) Specified Gazetted categories. The posts belonging to each such
(those given in the third sche- category in each department in
dule to the P.O) each zone shall be organised into
a separate local zonal cadre.
6. While, for the purpose of the Order, a District is a Revenue District,
a zone is one of the Six groups of specified Districts set out in the Second
Schedule to the order. In addition to the six zones, the city of Hyderabad
will be treated as a district / zone for posts for which separate city cadres
are envisaged. The Jurisdiction of the city of Hyderabad is given in the
first schedule to the Order. Under para 3 (6), the Central Government has
notified the Departments and the categories of posts for which separate
cadres have to be organised for the city of Hyderabad.
7. The scheme of organisation of local cadres under the Presidential
Order applies generally to all non-gazetted categories, other than those
specifically exempted under Government of India Notification GSR
No. 529/E dt. 18th October, 1975 issued under paragraph 3(8) of the Order.
It also applies to specified gazetted categories ie., the gazetted categories
specified in the Third Schedule to the Order and those that may be notified

214
in pursuance of para 2(1) (j) of the Order by the Central Government.
8. The Presidential Order also enables the organisation of multi-zonal
cadres for purposes of viability in respect of posts required to be organised
into zonal cadres. There is as such enabling provision in respect of cadres
which are required to be organised into district cadres. Accordingly, the nongazetted
categrories (except those specifically excluded) and the gazetted
categories specified in the third schedule to the Presidential Order have
been organised into local cadres on district or zonal or multi-zonal basis
as per requirements of the Departments concerned.
9. The provisions of the Presidential Orders do not apply, as per para
14 of the Order, to the following:
(a) any post in the Secretariat of the State Government.
(b) any post in the office of the Head of the Dept.
(c) any post in the office notified as Special Office or establishment under
the P.O.
(d) any post in the State level office or institution notified under the
P.O.
(e) any post in the Major Development Project; and
(f) any post of Police Officer defined in the Hyderabad City Police Act,
1348 F.
10. Personnel who were holding posts which were organised into local
cadre on 18.10.1975 have been allotted to the different local cadres (except
in cases where the posts held by them were already local cadres).
11. In allotting persons to local cadres due regard should be had to
all or any of the following criteria, namely:-
(a) The administrative needs of the posts in the local cadres;
(b) the need for the composition of balanced local cadres with reference
to age and seniority groups;
(c) the length of service of the persons concerned in the part of the State
for which the local cadre is organised;
(d) Knowledge of the persons concerned of the languages spoken and

215
the law in force in the part of the State for which the local cadre is
organised;
(e) preference of the persons concerned for allotment to any local cadre,
where feasible.
As the preference of the persons concerned was one of the creteria for
allotment, options were called for from all the persons holding, as on
18.10.1975, posts which were required to be organised into local cadres.
The options so received were also placed, along with all other relevant
particulars, before the Committees constituted by Govt. for the purpose,
as required in para-4(3) of the P.O. for making recommendations regarding
the allotments of the persons concerned to be made to local cadres. The
composition of the Committees constituted were as follows:-
1) Committee for gazetted categories:
(a) Second Secretary to Govt.
(b) A Secretary to Govt. nominated by name
(different from Department to Dept.)
(c) Secretary of the concerned Dept.
(d) Head of the Department concerned.
2 Committee for non-gazetted categories the unit. for which was the State
before the issue of the P.O.
a) Secretary to the Department concerned.
b) Secretary to Govt. nominated by name (different Secretaries were
nominated for different depts.)
c) Head of the Department concerned.
d) The Deputy Secretary of G.A.D. dealing with the Six Point
Formula.
3) Committee for non-gazetted categories the unit for which was the region
or a grounp of Districts.
a) Head of Department concerned.
b) Appointing authority, if he is other than the Head of the
Department.

216
c) A Deputy Secretary in the Administrative Department, nominated
by the concerned Secretary.
The above Committees keeping in view the principles of allotment laid
down in the Presidential Order. including the options (if any given by the
persons concerned), recommended the local cadres to which they should
be allotted. The Government in the case of gazetted and State wide nongazetted
categories, and the head of the Department in the case of all other
categories issued orders of allotment.
If any person was aggrieved by the order of his allotment, he could
submit a representation to Government within a period of sixty days from
the date of communication of the order. The State Government placed
these representations before the concerned allotment committees for their
recommendations and after examination the recommendations passed
suitable orders. If the order was likely to result in the change of allootment
of any other person, to such order was to be made without an opportunity
to such other person to make a representation. if the person still felt
aggrieved he could file a representation petition before the Andhra Pradesh
Administrative Tribunal against the order of the State Government, which
was otherwise final.
As laid down in para-5 (1) of the Presidential Order each local cadre
constitutes a separate unit for pusposes of recruitment, appointment,
discharge, senioririty, promotion and transfer and such other matters as
may be specified by the State Government in respect of that category.
For direct recruitment to posts in the local cadres, the Presidential
Order has defined what would constitute “local areas” and who would be
considered as a “Local candidate” in relation to a local area.
For the posts under the Government, the local area is a revenue district
for direct recruitment to the posts of the lower division clerks, equivalent
posts or lower posts and a zone for direct recruitment to the other nongazetted
posts. The zone constitutes the local area for direct recruitment
to the posts of Tahsildars, J. Es., A.A.Os., Inspectors of Police and MVIs.
The scheme of ‘Local areas’ and ‘local candidates’ also applies to direct
recruitment to the posts of Civil Assistant Surgeons, in the manner specified
in para 8(5) of the Presidential Order though these posts are not organised
into local cadres. Where a single cadre has been organised for two or more
zones i.e. multi-zones, all the zones computed in the multizones are regarded

217
as local areas in respect of such cadres when direct recruitment is made
to posts in such cadres. However the number of such appointments shall
be in the proportion mentioned in Schedule-II to the Presidential Order in
relation to the zones, comprised in the multi-zone. If the unit of appointment
for such posts is smaller than a multi-zone or a zone, after recruitment on
a multi-zonal or zonal basis, the salected candidates whould be allotted to
one of the units of appointment, eg. direct recruitment of Deputy Tahsildars
will be made on a zonal basis but after selection the selected candidates
will be allotted to one of the districts comprised in the zone as the district
is the appointment unit for Dy.Tahsildars.
In respect of posts which have been organised into seperate cadres for
the city of Hyderabad, the local area for direct recruitment is the city of
Hyderabad as defined in the first schedule to the Presidential Order.
The ‘local candidature’provisions in the Presidential Order also apply
to appointment by direct recruitment to posts in local authorities. The
local area is the Revenue district for direct recruitment to posts, in local
authorities carrying a scale of pay, the minimum of which does not exceed
the minimum of the scale of pay of Lower Division Clerk or a fixed pay not
exceeding that ‘amount’, The local area is a zone for direct recruitment to
other posts in the local authorities carrying a scale of pay the minimum
of which exceeds the minimum of the scale of pay of L.D.C. but does not
exceed Rs. 480/- or a fixed pay which exceeds the minimum of the scale
of pay of L.D.C. but does not exceed Rs. 480/- p.m. or a fixed pay which
exceeds the minimum of the scale of Pay of L.D.C. and does not exceed Rs.
480/- p.m. In resepct of the posts in the M.C.H., the city of Hyderabad is the
local area. For posts in the HUDA, the local area for the posts of LDCs.,
and equivalent and lower posts in the districts of Medak, Ranga Reddy
and Hyderabad and for the other non-gazetted posts above the category of
L.D.Cs, it is zone VI.
The provisions of the Order regarding reservations in the matter of
direct recruitment in favour of local candidates do not, however, apply to
the posts specified in para-14 of the Order viz., posts in the Secretariat,
in the Offices of the Heads of Departments, posts in the Special Offices/
Establishments notified by the Central Government in G.S.R.No. 526(E),
dated 18.10.1975, posts in the State level Offices/ Institutions notified by
the Central Government in G.S.R.No. 527(E), dated 18.10.1975, and posts
of Police Officers as defined in clause (b) of Section-3 of the Hyderabad
City Police Act, 1348 Fasli.

A local candidate has been defined with reference to the period of
study for four years prior to the date of his appearance at the qualifying
examination or matriculation, whichever is lower, in a local area and in
cases where no qualification is prescribed, with reference to the residence for
four years of the candidate prior to the date of notification of the vacancy. If
a candidate is not a local candidate by virtue of 4 years study or residence,
as the case may be, he would be a local candidate with reference to the
major period of study/residence in a local area within a period of 7 years
before the qualifying examination or matriculation, whichever is lower or
the date of notification of vacancy, as the case may be. Detailed instructions
in this regard have been issued in G.O.P.No. 729, GAD, dated 1.11.75 and
G.O.Ms.No.186, GAD, dated: 18.3.1977.
In the matter of direct recruitment, the reservation in favour of local
candidates relatable to a local area is as follows:-
Sl. Category Percen- Local Remarks

3. Junior Engineers and 60% The benifit of
Tahsildars, Inspectors reservation
or Police, MVIS., AAOs will go to
local can
didates of the
zone or the city
of Hyderabad
as the case
may be.
The remaining percentage of posts has to be regarded as unreserved to
be filled by either local or non-local candidates.
While the district refers to a revenue district, the territorial ambit of the
different zone has been specified in the Second Schedule to the Order.
The category of Civil Assistant Surgeons under the State Government
stands on a special footing, in that the category is not organised into local
cadres but preference in the matter of recruitment is required to be given
to the local candidates of different local areas. Sub-para (5) of para (8) of
the Order provides that 60% of posts filled up by direct recruitment at any
time in the category shall be reserved in favour of and allocated among the
local candidates in relation to the different local areas specified in column
(1) of the table in that paragraph in the respective ratios specified in column
(2) thereof. Thus if there are 100 vacancies to be filled by direct recruitment
at a time in this category in the State, 60 vacancies would be reserved in
favour of and allocated among the local candidates of the local areas in the
specified rates. It is to be noted that the Presidential Order does not provide
for reservation of all posts in the local cadres to local candidates but on
the other hand permits appointment of non-local candidates not exceeding
the stipulated percentages. This does not mean that the unreserved quota
should be given only to non-locals; on the other hand they can be filled up
by local candidates also.
Certain consequential provisions have been incorporated in sub-paras
(6), (7) and (8) of paragraph 8 of the Order to facilitate determination of

220
the exact number of posts in any cadre required to be reserved or allocated
at any time among the local candidates. It has been stipulated that there
shall be atleast one un-reserved post while making recruitment to posts
in any cadre at any time and that any fraction of a post that results while
calculating the number of posts to be reserved shall be counted as one.
While allocating reserved posts among the local candidates in relation to
different local areas in the case of recruitment to a multizonal cadre for
recruitment or to the posts of Civil Assistant Surgeons if any fractions arise
they shall be adjusted by counting successively the fractions in descending
order of magnitude as one and where the fraction to be so counted cannot
be elected by reason of the fractions being equal , the selection shall be
lot. It has also been provided that while allocating posts, as far as possible
atleast one post shall be allocated for the local candidates in respect of each
local area. The purpose sought to be achieved is that there shall at least be
a minimum of one unrerved post and to the extent possible a minimum of
one post reserved for each local area while making recruitment to a multizonal
cadre or to the Civil Assistant Surgeons category-1.
The guidelines to be followed for implementation of the above
percentages of reservations have been given in G.O.P.No.763, GAD,
dt.15.11.75. The A.P.P.S.C. and other recruiting agencies are required to
follow these guidelines to ensure the representation of local candidates as
per the Presidential Order.
Paragraph 9 of the Order specifies that if a qualified local candidate in
respect of a local area is not available to fill a post reserved or allocated
in favour of a local candidate in respect of that local area such post may
be filled in temporarily by borrowing the services of a person holding a
post of the same category in any other local cadre. Such borrowing may
be made from an adjacent cadre.
In order to fill up the carried forward vacancies, orders were issued
for conducting limited recruitment confined only to the local candidates
of the different local areas vide G.O.Ms.No.126, G.A. (Ser.A) Dept., dated
23.2.1983.
Since there was some time lag between the issue of the Presidential Order
and the actual allotment of persons to local cadres the Presidential Order
lays down that the appointments made between 18.10.1975 i.e. the date of
the Presidential Order and the date of organisation of local cadres should
be provincial and should be reviewed and readjusted within a period of one

221
year after the date of allotment of persons. The manner and procedure for
review of all such provisional appointments has been laid down in G.O.Ms.
No.67, GAD, dated 5.2.1977.
The Presidential Order enables the Government to make provisions in
the relevant service rules for transfer of persons (i) from non-local cadre
posts to local cadres or vice-versa, (2) from a Regional Office to a local
cadre and vice-versa and (3) from one local cadre to another local cadre
where no qualified or suitable person is available in the latter cadre or where
such transfer is otherwise considered necessary in the public interest. As
regards the transfer of persons from a non-local cadre to a local cadre it has
been considered that where a provision already exists it stands protected.
Regarding the transfer of persons from one local cadre to another, an ad-hoc
rule was issued in G.O.Ms.No.539, G.A. (Ser.A) dt. 15.10.1981 to enable
the Government to effect such transfers where no qualified or suitable
person is available in the latter cadre or where such tranfer is otherwise
considered necessary in the public interest or on mutal basis. The transfers
from one local cadre to another have to be effected only by Government as
per the ad-hoc rule mentioned above.
As per para-11 of the Order, the provisions of the Presidential Order
over-ride anything contained in any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or
other order made before or after the commencement of the order in respect
of the direct recruitment to posts falling within the purview of the order,
to the extent such statute, ordinance etc. is inconsistant with the provisions
of the Presidential Order.
All the Departments of Secretariat/Heads of Departments are requested
to keep the above position in view while examining the cases relating to
recruitment, discharge, seniority, promotion and transfer of Government
Employees in respect of the categories of posts to which local cadres have
been organised under the provisions of the APPE (OLC & RDR) Order,
1975. They may issue such instructions as they deem fit to the Officer under
their control. A set of the concerned G.Os and the anciliary instructions as
mentioned in the Annexure are enclosed for ready reference.

ORDER:
There has been some discontentment among the employees that certain
allotments of employees in various departments under the Government
were not made strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Presidential
Order. To allay such misgivings and to suggest corrective steps wherever
necessary an ‘Officers, Committee’consisting of three senior officers was
constituted to go into these aspects. The said Committee after having
discussions with various Services Associations and also visiting-certain
select districts in all the three region submitted its report to the Government.
In the meanwhile, the Government constituted a ‘One Man Commission’with
Sri V. Sundaresan I.A.S., (Retd.) to further examine the alleged violations
in the implementation of the Six-Point Formula and to suggest corrective
steps taking into consideration the report of the ‘Officers Committee,’
The ‘One Man Commission’after examining the recommendations of
the ‘Officers Committee’in details has expressed his views. The Government
considered the recommendations of the ‘‘offices’’committee as well as the
views of the ‘One Man Commission’and identified the following three as
major issues :
(i) Initial allotments on organisation of local cadres.
(ii) Transfers from one local cadre to another.
(iii) Reservation of posts in State-wide institutions, Heads of
Departments and Secretariat.
The Government have carefully examined the recommendations of the
‘Officers Committee’ and the views of “One Man Commission” relating
to the above three issues, and also taken into considerations the views of
the ‘All Party Committee,’expressed in its meeting held on 10-7-1985 and
also that of the three Major Services Associations viz., The A.P. Secretariat
Association, the Andhra Pradesh Non-Gazetted Officers’Association and
the Telangana Non-gazetted Officers’Union in the meeting held with them
on 29-8-1985 and direct as follows :-
(i) that the initial allotments on organisation of local cadres
